Xen devel - Jun 2006 - Xen 3.0.2 driver domain bridging supported?

Hi,

 

I am setting up a driver domain (NOT domain 0) under xen 3.0.2. The
device that I assigned to this special driver domain is an Ethernet
card. The assignment works well, which means that the driver domain
really owns that NIC, and the NIC does not show up in domain 0. However,
in order to share this NIC with other domains, currently I have to
connect the driver domain to xenbr0 in domain 0. Is there any way that I
can directly bring up a bridge in this driver domain (NOT domain 0) and
have other domains connect to it (that is, bypassing domain 0)? I have
tried for a while but it does not work for me.

 

In my configuration file for the driver domain, I set netif="yes" and
there is NO vif= line. Furthermore after the driver domain is up, I use
/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start bridge=xenbr1

to create a bridge in the driver domain.

 

In the configuration file for a normal guest domain, I set "vif = [
''backend=1'', ''bridge=xenbr1'' ]". Here
domain 1 is the driver domain.

 

 

Thank you very much!

 

Jinpeng
