In /usr/share/doc/xen-utils-4.0/README.Debian: Network setup ------------- The Debian package of Xen don't change the network setup in any way. This differs from the upstream version, which overwrites the main network card (eth0) with a bridge setup and may break the network at this point.. To setup a bridge please follow the instructions in the manpage for bridge-utils-interfaces(5). You can also change the /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file and re-enable the Xen included network setup by adding (network-script network-bridge) to the file. But please note that this may or may not work. So, to /etc/networks/interfaces then: auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 10.9.8.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.9.8.0 broadcast 10.9.8.255 bridge_maxwait 5 bridge_ports regex vif.* # if bridging eth0 as well: # bridge_ports regex vif.* noregex eth0 # all eth and vif? # bridge_ports regex (eth|vif).*
# if you want no IP address on the bridge, # delete address, netmask, network, and broadcast line # and change "iface br0 inet static" to "iface br0 inet manual" |
