Hey all, I have a need to assign more then one Ip address to a windows VM. In Linux this is easily done for all I do is make a virtual interface. Since I can not do this within windows, I''m thinking I need to create more then one vif from within the Xen .cfg file for the domU. I have done this as follows. vif = [''vifname=Testing1, bridge=eth0:Testing'', ''vifname=Testing2, bridge=eth0:Testing'', ''vifname=Testing3, bridge=eth0:Testing'',] My question here is does the traffic then get routed out eth0:Testing? I only ask for when I do a ifconfig on the Dom0 I see two interfaces being created per vifname. Case in point.. I boot the vm and then do a ifconfig on the dom0 and I see tap-Testing1 and Testing1 as interfaces. brctl shows both interfaces (tab-Testing1 and Testing1) being attached to eth0 bridge. Why is xen creating two interfaces per 1 virtual interface? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi Robbie, Why don''t you just add a secondary IP in windows??
