[Xen-users] Dummy ethernet device setup

[Philipp Jäggi <philipp.jaggi@xxxxxxx>]

Hello you all out there

Does anybody know the definite guide
to create a dummy ethernet device?

So, what I want to have is an ethernet
device, without a physical link, or so called a dummy device. My goal is
to have apache with mod_proxy and balancer running on peth0 in dom0. Apache
is spreading my connection to the backend domU's, where the webservices
are running. The connection between the dom's should go on dom0 over the
dummy interface and they are all connected over a bridge. Hope the following
ascii-art explains it a little bit better:


         
          ¦¦
-------------------------------------------------------------
|        
       peth0        
               |
|        
       DOM0        
               |
|          
               
              |
|        
       tun0 (dummy dev)

|          
       xenbr1        
               |
|----------------------------------------------------------
       |
|        eth0
       |        eth0
               |
|        domU
       |        domU
               |

I tried with tun to setup the stuff,
but I've got several problems. I search a lot in the internet, but I didn't
find a good documentation. So my question is, how to setup cleanly such
a dummy device. Any help or link to documentation is welcome! Thanks a
lot for your help


bye Philipp
