Trying to set up my domUs with network connectivity. I am running FC5 on
dom0 and FC5 on my two domUs.
My dom0 has a static eth0 and I run the ''network bridge'' and
''vif bridge''
in the script at startup. My ifconfig shows (edited for length...):
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:81:5D:B1:70
inet addr:130.127.XX.XXX Bcast:130.127.XX.XXX Mask:255.255.254.0
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
peth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link
vif0.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link
vif1.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link
vif2.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link
xenbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
inet6 addr: fe80::200:ff:fe00:0/64 Scope:Link
Questions/Comments:
1) How would I set up my bridge to give out automatic DHCP info to the
domUs? Do I have to run DHCP services on dom0?
2) I would like to keep my 130.127 address on eth0 so I can still connect
to the network, can this still be done and give private 192.168.12.X
addresses to my domUs?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Vince

Do I have to run DHCP services on dom0?A bridge is no dhcp server. You should probably read some documentation to learn what bridging is about. If you want your domU''s to get ip adresses from a dhcp server, then you need to have an dhcp server, and set up bridging correctly. It doesn''t matter if the dhcp server is on dom0, any domU or somewhere else, when you use briding, all the ethernet traffic is transported to the other side if the bridge...> 2) I would like to keep my 130.127 address on eth0 so I can still connect > to the network, can this still be done and give private 192.168.12.X > addresses to my domUs?Again I recommend you to read docs on ethernet bridging (in general, not xen specific in gthe first place). With bridging, you can give your domU''s IP adresses as you want, as bridging is on ethernet level. But if you want a more cleanly separated private network ( as it sounds), you probably rather want to use a routed or natted network in xen - which makes my previous advice on dhcp invalid, this goes only for briding.
