Hi, We are running Xen 3 on Debian and have 4 guests running. www, sql, ns1 and mail. I am wanting to shut down mail and let the host take over the task. I have setup postfix, imap etc on the host ready to take over. I halted mail and added an interface alias to the host with the ip and netmask of mail. But I am unable to ping/ssh to the interface alias out side of the host or other other guests. This is the /etc/network/interfaces of the host auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.180 netmask 255.255.255.240 gateway 192.168.1.179 auto eth0:1 iface eth0:1 inet static address 192.168.1.181 netmask 255.255.255.0 We can use from 180 to 190 in the address range. If I setup the alias with 188 I can ping and ssh without issue. So even though the mail guess is shutdown in traffic still routed to it some how? Any help would be appreciated. -- Thanks Corey Sewell P: (07) 862 6431 or 0800 DEN SYS F: (07) 862 6431 M: 021 902 024 corey@dennissystems.net <mailto:corey@dennissystems.net> http://www.DennisSystems.net _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Nothing Xen specific, really. Try to force-update neighbour/router''s arp cache, using command (from your host): arping -b -I eth0 -s 192.168.1.181 192.168.1.1 where the last ip address is the ip address of your router. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
