Hi,
i didn''t find any informations about the correct setup in xen to use
more than 1 nic.
I have the latest xen-unstable running on RHAS4 with domU with RHAS3. If
i configure to use only 1 nic (fix ip-address) xen works fine. However i
need 2 nics configured in xenU.
My approach was to create 2 bridges (1 points to eth0 and the other one
to dummy0):
ifconfig looks like this:

The bridges are showed up like this:
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xen-br0 8000.feffffffffff no vif0.0
peth0
vif4.1
xen-br1 8000.ce1f17ebe560 no dummy0
vif4.2
on start of the domU i create the vif-bridges.
If i specify only 1 ip-address (and nic=1) in config-file everything
works fine (of course only 1 nic). However as soon as i try to specify 2
nics i have no network at all.
Here my question: What is the correct syntax to provide more than 1
ip-address, netmask, etc in the conf-file?
I tried another approach by configuring the 2nd nic in domU directly
(/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1). This works, however it has
some odd side-effects (wrong routing tables,etc). Moreover, based on the
concept of xen i don''t think this is the correct way...
Any help is highly appreciated...
cheers,
Roland
