The http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking guide mentions to run these steps to add an interface to a bridge. When I run the second step I get an "Error: either "dev" is duplicate or "mac" is garbage. I am running xen on SLES10 Also, it mentions that for Xen 3.0 it is best to use the my-network-script, is this b/c the 4 steps below do not work with Xen 3.0? I haven''t been able to really get it to work doing the manual steps but maybe I am missing something, using the my-network script works fine with a little tweaking for my environment. Wiki steps -> # ip link set eth1 down # ip link set eth1 mac fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff arp off>>> Edit needed to do a "brctl addrbr br1" or else I get an error itdoes not recognize eth1 in the next step. # brctl addif br1 eth1 # ip link set eth1 up When finished "ifconfig" does not show br1, but "brctl show" does.

As far as I can see, the steps in the Wiki page are to be used in conjunction with the default scripts..(?)..>>>>Edit needed to do a "brctl addrbr br1" or else I get an error it > > does not recognize eth1 in the next step. > # brctl addif br1 eth1 > # ip link set eth1 up > > When finished "ifconfig" does not show br1, but "brctl show" does.ifconfig by itself (no -a) will not show interfaces which are in DOWN state. Not sure who contributed that page to the Wiki, I suspect it was multiple people - but one of the issues with that is keeping information that is very version-specific all current. I''d like to get the correct information into the User Manual with examples, and since that is distributed with the source tree - it can be better relied upon without ambiguity on version applicability. That requires the developers and anyone changing the scripts, interface, tools etc. to submit doc changes *with* their code patch. Also, of course, getting it up to par to begin with. Don''t know how many people make and install the documentation with each Xen release, though. Note, the above is not a substitute for the Wiki, which is and can be a very useful and convenient medium to disseminate information :) - but just to provide a reliable information source for setup. thanks, Nivedita _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

As far as I can see, the steps in the Wiki page are to be used in conjunction with the default scripts..(?).. Actually the scripts really take care of everything, none of those manual steps are needed, that is why I thought these manual steps were an alternative to the scripts. Not seeing that these manual steps work at all on SLES10.>>>>Edit needed to do a "brctl addrbr br1" or else I get an error it > > does not recognize eth1 in the next step. > # brctl addif br1 eth1 > # ip link set eth1 up > > When finished "ifconfig" does not show br1, but "brctl show" does.ifconfig by itself (no - a) will not show interfaces which are in DOWN state.

I was able to get things working in the end. Attached is what worked for me in case you are interested. thanks, Nivedita _______________________________________________ Xen- users mailing list Xen- users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen- users _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
