Hi Tej,

thanks for your answer.

I am not sure your domU is up or not, because your ifconfig is not
showing any vif interfaces.

No, there were no domUs up when I did 'brctl show' because they
don't start because of missing 'xenbrX'-bridges.

try this in your domU config file
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0' ], now boot domU
vif <domid>.0 should be just below peth0.

I have this in my config files for the domUs (I don't set mac
adresses) e.g.:

vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr1' ] for domU A
  .
  .
  .
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr5' ] for domU E
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr6' ] for domU F

I'm using 6 Bridges at the moment for 6 domUs, so xenbr0 wouldn't
be an option. Also I don't have an bridge called 'xenbr0'
and with this setting no domU booted. It ended up with an error
message saying that it could not create device.

HTH
thanks

P.S. I am just wondering why vif0.0 is not showing in your brctl show.


Thanks
Thomas
