Re: [Xen-users] xen bridge config problem

yeah, it's probably one of two things (was for me ... )

i ended up just starting the bridge myself in auto/autoload.py (you can call it whatever you want), and used this:

os.system('/etc/xen/scripts/network start bridge=xen-br0 netdev=eth0 
antispoof=no')
os.system('/etc/xen/scripts/network start bridge=xen-br1 netdev=eth3 
antispoof=no')

the key is to make sure antispoof is no unless you're specifying ips for iptables

if that doesn't work, check 'brctl show', and make sure your bridge is binding to your interface, should look something like:
sudo brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
xen-br0         8000.001143fd7101       no              eth0
                                                        vif1.0
                                                        vif2.0
                                                        vif3.0
                                                        vif4.0
xen-br1         8000.001143fd7102       no              eth3
                                                        vif1.1
                                                        vif2.1
                                                        vif3.1
                                                        vif4.1

for some reason i have to do that top two lines twice to get my eth0 to bind (init order problem?), so my autoload.py looks like:
#!/usr/bin/python

#################
#
#       My first python script ...
#
#

import os

os.system('/etc/xen/scripts/network start bridge=xen-br0 netdev=eth0 
antispoof=no')
os.system('/etc/xen/scripts/network start bridge=xen-br1 netdev=eth3 
antispoof=no')

os.system('xm create -f /etc/xen/xm.conf vmid=1')
os.system('xm create -f /etc/xen/xm.conf vmid=2')
os.system('xm create -f /etc/xen/xm.conf vmid=3')
os.system('xm create -f /etc/xen/xm.conf vmid=4')

#somtimes eth0 doesn't migrate all the way the first time? do it once more for 
safety
os.system('/etc/xen/scripts/network start bridge=xen-br0 netdev=eth0 
antispoof=no')
os.system('/etc/xen/scripts/network start bridge=xen-br1 netdev=eth3 
antispoof=no')

hope that helps ... just watch out for iptables (iptables --list in your U and make sure it's not reject) and see if everything is binding correctly.

this information is for Nivedita as welll ... ;)

feel free to ask for more info, this took me forever =)

I am unable to ping the rest of the machines on the network from  the guest OS.

The host, Domain-0 (10.0.1.201), and guest 10.0.1.209 can ping each other.

The host, Domain-0 (10.0.1.201) can ping the gateway 10.0.1.1.

The guest 10.0.1.209 can not ping the gateway.

I want guest domains to be available from the network.  Any tips what I might 
be missing?  See config details below.

Thanks,
