Re: [Xen-users] Emulating Multiple NIC cards on Guests

Hi!

In my case, I'm running fedora 8 and I have two interfaces (eth0 and eth1) in my host. The host has 2 guests.

I would like to have my dom0 and dom1 to use eth0 and dom2 to use eth1. All in the same network.

So I have to do what you have described to add another bridge.

You can passthrough eth1 to dom2 (bearing the security drawbacks) in this case which only requires configuring one default bridge. Or you can create two bridges as I explained and do that way which is more secure.

--Sadique


    - In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts of dom0 , Configure eth0, eth1 and
    eth3 with appropriate network details.
    - Edit /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp, comment out Line 91 by putting a # in
    the beginning of the line and add the below line after that.

    (network-script network-custom)

    - Create /etc/xen/scripts/network-custom with the below contents in it
    and give it 755 permission.

    #!/bin/bash
    /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge $1 netdev=eth0 bridge=xenbr0 vifnum=0
    /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge $1 netdev=eth1 bridge=xenbr1 vifnum=1

    - Reboot my system.

    - Now I should have xenbr0 and xenbr1 configured properly on
    your host system. Run "brctl show" to see details.



How should I assign IP addresses as I want to have the host an both guests in the same network?

As I only want one interface per guest, nothing else is necessary, right?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
