Hi,
I seem to have made some progress. I add the ifconfig statements for
the bridges in /etc/network/interfaces and they come up automatically.
I discovered a typo in my xen firewall config -- I was using the plural
"vifs" instead of "vif".
ifconfig is now reporting all bridges and vifs is per Marcus' example.
route looks similar is well.
brctl reports multiple vifs bound to the related bridges only when I
remove the "backend=fw" statemnent from the vif parameter in the domU1
xen config.
Should I be attempting to use the "backend" parameter?
I still cannot "see" the firewall from domu1.
Should the vifs show up in with arp? The fw (domU) reports its first
hop in arp but does not report domU1.
Looking at your brctl show ... I suspect I have an issue here:
br1 vif1.2
vif3.0
br2 vif1.2
br3 vif1.3
xen-br0 dummy0
vif1.0
(note that I omitted the br ids /stp info.)
I see that your bridges all have dummy interfaces reported as attached.
As well you have multiples vifs attached to your xen-br0. Any ideas?
I will have to throw another NIC in this machine so I can actually get
to this machine and provide copy and past logs, etc.
Thanks
Adam
