Hi!
Can anybody tell me where i can find docs about handling network bridges for xen domUs in
Fedora 7?
Something changed since FC6, so i cannot figure out how to create simple bridges without
dhcp for my xen domUs.
Previously there was a xen module called 'netloop' in use. So if you used
network-bridge, you'd get 4 interfaces
peth0 - physical device
xenbr0 - bridge device
vif0.0 - backend of virtual device
eth0 - frontend of virtual device
peth0 & vif0.0 would be part of xenbr0
In F7, use of netloop is removed to simplify dom0 config so you only get
two interfaces
peth0 - physical device
eth0 - bridge device
And peth0 is part of the eth0 bridge.
In both cases, eth0 wouldbe the device that gets the IP addr.
All what i want is:
xenbrINTERNET should bridge to eth1
xenbrLAN should bridge to eth0
Calling the bridge xenbrXXXX is deprecated, since we're moving towards a Dom0
config which is able to be the same for both Xen and KVM. Hence we have the
generic peth0 & eth0 devices now. That's a minor naming detail though. You
should be able to call network-bridge multiple times - once per device you
have, just as with Fc6. Alternatively setup briding using the regular init
scripts as per section 2 in this doc
