[Xen-users] understanding networking - xen 3.1 and CentOS 5.1

[Götz Reinicke <goetz.reinicke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

recently I started to play with xen. Therefore I got a new system and 
installed Centos 5.1 with the virtualisation packages (xen 3.1 etc.)
Setting up a Centos 5.1 Guest using the virtual manager tool works like 
a charm, the guest boots has network access, can install updates from 
the internet - so far so good.
Now I was looking at the network configuration and was confused. How 
dose the IP configuration of the client is set up? After my basic 
installation the guest uses dhcp.
Until now I haven't found any answer to my question how I may configure 
the host and the guest(s) to use fixed ip addresses from the lan the 
server is located on. I fount a lot of web pages, pdfs etc, but all 
looks somhow different :-) (O.K. the host can be )
E.g. I'd like the host to have the ip 172.17.255.10, the guests should 
have the ip 172.17.255.11, .12 and .13 ...
I'm not affraid to use vi to configure the guest or edit configfiles; 
using the virtual manager tool was just the first start.
So any help or point to the helpfull how to is welcome.


Thanks and best regards

Götz
