[Xen-users] Networking in Scientific Linux 6 and Xen bridges
I am wanting to make a VM that will be a firewall. This VM will be connected to my bridge named "xenbr0." I then want to make a second bridge called "xenbr1" which is connected to the firewall VM. I then want to have my other VMs connected to xenbr1. How would I do this within Scientific Linux 6 or what is a way that will give me a equivalent result. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Re: [Xen-users] Networking in Scientific Linux 6 and Xen bridges
scientific linux 6 doesn''t have the Xen dom0 kernel in it so if you want scientific linux 6 as the VM host you are out of luck. SL6 works fine as a domU though. Best to use libvirt (virsh net-create) to create the bridges rather than the rather outdated xen bridge tools.

I''m using SL6 with a a kernel I compiled myself, but I will look into the usage of libvirt. Thank you.
