Xen users - Nov 2008 - Multiple Bridges and Multiple physical nic''s

Hello,

I was following the steps on creating a new bridge and attaching a
physical nic to it.

******Steps mentioned in
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking#head-d5446face7e308f577e5aee1c72cf9d156903722
*****************

if you want to use multiple bridges, you must create them yourself,
either manually, or via your own startup script, or via a custom
script to replace network-bridge. For example:

$ cd /etc/xen/scripts
$ cp network-bridge network-custom
$ cp vif-bridge vif-custom
$ vi /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
        (network-script network-custom)
        (vif-script vif-custom)
$ vi network-custom
        # whatever you want

******************End of suggested steps***********

However I get the following error when trying to reset the mac. Is it
ok to continue to the next step? and what was the intent of this
particular step.

# ip link set eth1 mac fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff arp off
#Error: either "dev" is duplicate, or "mac" is a garbage.


Thanks,

Regards,
Karthik

1. Try using Xen''s assigned mac address: 00:16:3e:xx:xx:xx (change the
x''es to some random hex number from 0-F)
2. The mac address for each network card / virtual nic has to be unique.
