Re: [Xen-users] xenbr0 disappeared

[Asim <linkasim@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot Todd for your response.

Yes, I'm using a Xen 3.2. Its a code that I checked out  in May 15 and
built on CentOS 4. The machine(dom0) is connected to internet via
static IP.

eth0 is a bridge. eth1 is an interface that is down currently. I
intend to use eth1 for passthrough I/O but was trying to get bridged
networking working first. I deleted this bridge.

The relevant lines in my sxp are. I'm sorry for the previous
confusion. I corrected it and now sxp looks like:-

(network-script network-bridge netdev=eth0)
(vif-script vif-bridge)


I removed the old bridge. This has made brctl look like:

[root@adsl-02 images]# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
eth0            8000.00e0815c75c2       no              peth0
                                                        vif152.0

At domU:

[root@fedora_pristine ~]# ping 128.105.104.102
connect: Network is unreachable
[root@fedora_pristine ~]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

The routing table is empty. The ping returns immediately without doing anything.

Am I missing any steps? Shouldnt the domU creation fix the networking.
Do I need to make any changes to sysconfig/network-scripts/* files?

Thanks,
Asim
