Hi all, I''m running xen and xenolinux from the xeno-1.1.bk tree and have a guest RH9 running as dom1. When I try to add an alias, eth0:x, onto its existing eth0 I receive a protocol not supported error. I understand that xen only supports one network adapter at this time but should/does that affect the ability of the guest o/s(s) to alias their adapter?

(see below). Remember, if you want to use the alias in a domain other than dom0 you''ll need to poke an extra vfr rule down from dom0 to get packets routed to the other domain correctly. (I haven''t tested that this actually works, but I think it should do).> I understand that xen only supports one network adapter at this > time but should/does that affect the ability of the guest o/s(s) > to alias their adapter?Nope, should work...

(see below).Sorry, Ian, I should have looked a little deeper. The alias is actually created; from whence the error message, I don''t know.> > Remember, if you want to use the alias in a domain other than > dom0 you''ll need to poke an extra vfr rule down from dom0 to get > packets routed to the other domain correctly.

If I create alii within the guest they are accessable from within the guest only. Where would I look for an example of "poking an extra vfr rule down"? I tried using xi_vifinit to assign 10.0.0.32 to eth0:1 on dom1 like this: xi_vifinit 1 10.0.0.32 eth0:1 and received no complaints but the guest would no longer boot.
