Re: [Xen-users] Xen creating two bridges
This works great for adding a new domU or HVM to a particular bridge, but setting up the bridges to begin with can be a bit challenging. I've found using Sysconfig is easier, especially with VLANs and they seem to confuse the XEN scripts that do the bridge setup.

Hi all,
you may use in the xend-config.sxp
(vif-script vif-bridge bridge=xenb0)
or use scripts:
brctl addbr xenintbr brctl setfd xenintbr 0 brctl sethello xenintbr 0 brctl stp xenintbr off
echo "IP adress of xen bridge is 10.0.0.1" ifconfig xenintbr 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Re: [Xen-users] Xen creating two bridges

I've found that I have better luck creating bridges when I use the bridge facilities built in to Linux instead of the XEN ones. For example, on SuSE you can create an /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-xenbr0 file and put configuration directives in this file that tell Linux which interface(s) to put in the bridge and even assign an IP or set DHCP on the bridge. Most of my XEN servers have multiple VLANs - usually five or six, so I've found that doing this greatly simplifies the amount of configuration I have to do. -Nick

I'm trying to set up networking on a new machine.
I'm not getting any networking from the domU's
I notice that I have two bridges being created:
xenbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3024 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1802480 (1.7 Mb) TX bytes:258 (258.0 b)
xenbr1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:44 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1232 (1.2 Kb) TX bytes:468 (468.0 b)
Any idea why that would be?
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp only contains this:
(xend-relocation-server yes) (xend-relocation-hosts-allow '^localhost$') (network-script 'network-bridge netdev=eth0') (vif-script vif-bridge) (dom0-min-mem 196) (dom0-cpus 0)
I'm configuring networking for the domU with this line: vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:6a:b4:43', 'bridge=xenbr0' ]
Any idea why I'm seeing two bridges and if that might point to why I'm not getting any network throughput on my virtual machines?
Thanks,
Russell
