Re: [Xen-users] How to make bridge with no IP
 
Jonathan Tripathy wrote:
 I wish to make a bridge in my Dom0 that has no IP address assigned 
to it. By default, Xen attaches my peth0 interface to a bridge 
called eth0. I then have a firewall DomU with a network interface 
which is connected to the eth0 bridge.
 The problem is, is that the setup only works if eth0 in the Dom0 has 
an ip. If I do ifdown eth0 to remove the IP, the bridge stops 
working.
 
 I believe the trick is to do "ip link up" (check man pages for 
correct syntax) to make the link itself active, but you don't need to 
add an IP.
