[Xen-users] Local network between two DomUs without a Bridge
Hello Xen-Users! Is there a way to connect two DomU on the same real Host without using a bridge. Figurativly speaking I''m looking for a cross-over-cable for two DomU. An ideas are welcome Volker Jaenisch -- =================================================== inqbus it-consulting +49 ( 341 ) 5643800 Dr. Volker Jaenisch http://www.inqbus.de Herloßsohnstr. 12 0 4 1 5 5 Leipzig N O T - F Ä L L E +49 ( 170 ) 3113748 =================================================== _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I would generally recommend a second bridge though; it''s what I do. Then I use vtun to connect one domU on each dom0 together, so that all domUs on all dom0s have a private network.

There have been plans for a direct domU-domU link for a while now for reasons of flexibility and performance - but nobody has actually implemented it so far. The easiest way to do what you describe is to create a second bridge in dom0, then give the two domUs network interfaces on it. DomUs can have more than one vif, so you can still give them access to br0 if you want. Cheers, Mark -- Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals!
