Xen project Mailing List

Thank you Thomas,

Few followup questions:

1. Which network mode is best for this configuration? bridge, route, nat?

2. On my box, when I specified the IP in the vif section, it didn't prevent anything nor did it assign that IP. I am booting into Windows 2003 and 2008 DomU.

The only way that I found that I can have Dom0 dictate the IP of the DomU was to enable DHCP on the dnsmasq service in Dom0 and map the MAC to IP on it. Still didn't prevent the Windows user from assigning a static IP of their choice and being able to communicate between systems on the bridge and outside.

Is this a limitation of Windows or HVM or is something mis-configured on my end?

Here is my config of the W2K3 DomU:

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
arch_libdir = 'lib'

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 8192
name = "vm-app-1a"
uuid = "C37B45AE-62E3-4034-BAD6-D0D3E127333E"

vcpus = 2
pae = 1
acpi = 1
apic = 1
cpus = "2-7"

vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=virbr0, mac=00:16:3e:00:01:02, ip=192.168.122.150' ]

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg00/vm-000002-0,hda,w' ]

device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
boot = "c"

sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="10.20.30.40"
vncpasswd='vncpass'
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'

So the terms your are searching are SNAT and DNAT. i would't recommend
pure Portforwarding, since it seems to much fiddling, which each
individual port.

Use SNAT and DNAT in Dom0 and protect your domU by simple Port-Filter...

this is simple:

vif = [ 'ip=10.0.0.50,mac=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' ]

> and b) communicating with other private systems unless Dom0 sais ok.

1) Each domU has its own Bridge
or
2) 10.0.0.50/32 and only ONE Route to your GW aka Dom0

No Need for openvSwitch - can be easily accomplished with simple
Unix-Tools ;-)

Just ask aunt google for help, e.g.
http://www.adamsinfo.com/full-nat-dnat-and-snat-aka-11-nat-1-to-1-nat/

seems sufficient for your needs.
