Xen users - Oct 2008 - IP address vs. etc/interfaces in DomU

Hi all,

I tried to setup a DomU using Debian debootstrap. For networking I used 
bridge-mode and in the in the DomU configuration I specified a fixed IP 
address for the network card of the DomU using the vif comman
vif [ '' ip= 192.168.2.3'' ].
The creation of the DomU works so far, but the init scripts seem not to 
bring eth0 up automatically. Therefore I had to set up the following in 
/etc/interfaces of the DomU:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.3
    ....


So my question now is, what is the IP parameter in the vif command for, 
when I have to specify the IP address in /etc/interfaces? What happens 
when I specify different addresses?

Thanx

    Martin

Don''t use the IP parameter in the vif command in bridged mode.
