What distro are you running for your dom0? This is pretty simple to do - I
actually do it in a slightly more complicated fashion where I''m pulling
in multiple VLAN interfaces on the same physical ethernet interface, and none of
my VLAN interfaces have IP addresses. The configuration is going to be pretty
distro-dependent. In my SLES10 SP2 VMs, in the /etc/sysconfig/network
directory, I simple configure the interfaces to come up but not to try to
configure an IP on the interface. This is done with the following two lines:
STARTMODE=auto
BOOTPROTO=none
The first line tells the interface to come up automatically; the second line
(which can be "static", "dhcp", "bootp" or
"none") tells Linux to bring up the interface but not to assign an IP
address. Again, the configuration on the different distributions can be
different, so you need to know the syntax for configuring your network
interfaces for your particular distribution.

Hi there,
this is probably really lame, but i gotta ask anyways:
let''s say that there is a machine (running debian lenny for both the
dom0
and the domUs) with two network interfaces running xen:
- eth0 should be for administrative purposes only: it has an ip from an
internal network and allows logging in to the dom0 instance on the server
- eth1 is accessible from the outside and will be shared among some domUs,
serving stuff to the internet
I''d like to set up networking in a way that all traffic on eth1 will
never
reach dom0. For this reason, the peth1 interface should not have a static
ip - its traffic should merely travel across the eth1 network bridge to
the domUs.
I tried to set up eth1 as
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
in /etc/network/interfaces - didn''t work. apparently, eth1
isn''t really
up enough to get included in the bridge. In xend-config.sxp, there is a
(network-script ''network-bridge netdev=eth1'')
entry, the domUs have
vif = [ ''ip=x.x.x.x.x,mac=w:h:a:t:ev:er,bridge=eth1'' ]
statements in their configs.
It would be really great if someone could enlighten me on this ...
Thank you very much in advance,
thoralf.
