Ok, lets see if I can describe this well enough... when I run brctl addif xen-bro vif1.0 it fails with the following... vhost1:~# brctl addif xen-br0 vif56.0 can''t add vif56.0 to bridge xen-br0: Cannot assign requested address ifconfig dumps... vhost1:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8D:4F:33:D7 inet6 addr: fe80::250:8dff:fe4f:33d7/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2088696 errors:0 dropped:848 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2179062 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1703264248 (1.5 GiB) TX bytes:1955226623 (1.8 GiB) Interrupt:23 Base address:0xe400 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:B6:7D:4A inet6 addr: fe80::260:97ff:feb6:7d4a/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5728 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2538 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:3 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1721585 (1.6 MiB) TX bytes:653564 (638.2 KiB) Interrupt:17 Base address:0xd000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:73036 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:73036 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:59921375 (57.1 MiB) TX bytes:59921375 (57.1 MiB) vif56.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 01:00:10:00:01:92 inet6 addr: fe80::300:10ff:fe00:192/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:3 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2360 (2.3 KiB) TX bytes:140 (140.0 b) vif56.1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 01:00:01:00:01:92 inet6 addr: fe80::300:1ff:fe00:192/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:5 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2360 (2.3 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) xen-br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:8D:4F:33:D7 inet addr:10.11.0.32 Bcast:10.11.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::250:8dff:fe4f:33d7/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:253950 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:307125 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:41502095 (39.5 MiB) TX bytes:105782488 (100.8 MiB) xen-br1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:97:B6:7D:4A inet addr:10.0.1.32 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.254.0 inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4206 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1613 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:607414 (593.1 KiB) TX bytes:144808 (141.4 KiB) The funny thing is, a little bit ago it was working just fine. Stock network script wrappered with the following to setup the bridges... I''ve rebooted, restored the original scripts, reinstalled the kernel that was working, reinstalled xen from the same debs... Any ideas why brctl would suddenly be unable to add the vifs to the bridges? *boggled* ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

Should definitely add this little bit of info to the docs on settin the mac and a link to the standard RFC site(Whatevere that may be) on the net). I can forsee this one biting a lot of newbie people as a tempting thing to change. ;) On Wed, 2004-10-13 at 01:33, christian mock wrote:> On Tue, Oct 12, 2004 at 11:56:58AM -0500, Brian Wolfe wrote: > > > vif56.1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 01:00:01:00:01:92 > > this is a multicast MAC address, since the LSB of the first octet is > set. maybe that''s your problem. > > HTH, > > cm.------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
