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

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?

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?
