Hi,

try:

# ./network-bridge start bridge=xenbr1 netdev=eth1 vifnum=1

which will cause xen to use veth1 rather than veth0 which is probably being used for xenbr0.

Regards,

Rowan

After upgrading amd64 from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 I can only start one bridge.
When trying to manualy start another bridge with:

# ./network-bridge start bridge=xenbr1 netdev=eth1

..I get the following error:

Link veth0 is missing.
This may be because you have reached the limit of the number of interfaces
that the loopback driver supports.  If the loopback driver is a module, you
may raise this limit by passing it as a parameter (nloopbacks=<N>); if the
driver is compiled statically into the kernel, then you may set the parameter
using loopback.nloopbacks=<N> on the domain 0 kernel command line.

How do I get my other bridge up? Is it really a lack of loopbacks?

Also, what should xend-config.sxp look like for two NICs bridged? The
documentation is very vague.

Regards,
David
