Hi,

i'm sorry guys, i don't quite get it.

i replaced my script with this one:

***********

#!/bin/sh
XENDIR="/etc/xen/scripts"

$XENDIR/network-bridge "$@" netdev=eth0 bridge=eth0 vifnum=0
$XENDIR/network-bridge "$@" netdev=eth1 bridge=eth1 vifnum=1


***********

on the other hand....

what about /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp ? Do i have to keep the (vif-script vif-bridge) line? Do i have to use another script?

what about /etc/network/interfaces? can i use something like this?

****************
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.1.200
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.1.0
       broadcast 192.168.1.255
       gateway 192.168.1.231

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
       address 192.168.2.200
       netmask 255.255.255.0

****************

or do i have to replace eth0 with peth0 in this file? will debian load the newtork interfaces if i change the name?

Thank you.

Hi,

Here's my Xen3.2 script .. working 100% on multiple boxes ...

#!/bin/sh
XENDIR="/etc/xen/scripts"

$XENDIR/network-bridge "$@" netdev=eth0 bridge=eth0 vifnum=0
$XENDIR/network-bridge "$@" netdev=eth1 bridge=eth1 vifnum=1

NOTE::

The nice people at Xen changed the default bridge from Xenbr<n> to eth<n>.

New method;
a. rename device eth0 to peth0
b. create a bridge called eth0 (!!)
c. include peth0 as a device for bridge eth0

!!

Much improved method, however, the documentation stinks ..

Gareth.

Subject: [Xen-users] two bridges with xen 3.2.0

hi,

i'm trying the new 3.2.0.

i've always used two bridges since 3.0.x with the following set up:

Replace

(network-script network-bridge)

with

(network-script network-bridge-both)

in file /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp

The content of network-bridge-both is

************

#!/bin/sh
dir=$(dirname "$0")
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=0 netdev=eth0 bridge=xenbr0
"$dir/network-bridge" "$@" vifnum=1 netdev=eth1 bridge=xenbr1

************

As i said, this used to work for 3.0.x and 3.1.x releases.....

Now, it doesn't work anymore...

when the xen loads....

there's only this in the ifconfig command:

-lo
-peth0
-peth1

What's different from the earlier releases? Thank you.
