You can look at this for a bridging guide

 

http://www.linux.com/howtos/BRIDGE-STP-HOWTO/practical-example.shtml

 

Which also has some init scripts.

Hello Patrick

Thanks a lot for this input, but my question goes more in the direction, how you should setup your system, so that everything starts up automatically. I can't execute your steps by hand on a productive server and to write a shell script, which I let run in rc.local, is from my view also not so a clean solution. That's why my question goes for a definite guide to setup such network configurations.

Can I do this steps with ifcfg-xxxx files, how do I create a second bridge in a clean way and how do I arrage the assignement of the vif to the bridges. All this is just about the setup of dom0.

So, the question is not how to do it, it how to do it clean and propper on a Fedora Core 4 system. Thanks a lot for all ideas. If a lot of good proposal will come in, I will try to find the time to write such a guide and post it to this mailing list. Thanks a lot for all the hints and links.


bye Philipp

Just use veth1/vif0.1 as your connection from dom0 to xenbr1:

                brctl addif vif0.1
                ip link set veth1 address 00:16:3e:f1:e2:d3 arp on up
                ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev veth1

to remove it:

                ip link set veth1 down
                ip addr flush dev veth1
                brctl delif vif0.1
