[Xen-users] Re: Unable to have more than 3 interfaces in domU

[Anders Siverby <ampe83@xxxxxxxxx>]

I noticed that vif2.3 isn't up, looks like the problem is in dom0 after 
all.
vif2.2    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
          inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:5 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:84 (84.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

vif2.3    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:3 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

Also, if I destroy domain 2 vif2.3 still shows up and is still attached 
to switch4 (while vif2.0-2.2 is gone). I think I saw a post about this 
earlier but I can't find it now.
I am using Xen 3.0. What am I doing wrong?
