The http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking guide mentions to
run these steps to add an interface to a bridge. When I run the second

am running xen on SLES10
SLES10? Which beta?
Also, it mentions that for Xen 3.0 it is best to use the
my-network-script, is this b/c the 4 steps below do not work with Xen
3.0? I haven't been able to really get it to work doing the manual
steps but maybe I am missing something, using the my-network script
works fine with a little tweaking for my environment.
Wiki steps ->
# ip link set eth1 down
# ip link set eth1 mac fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff arp off
If you are doing only this, it is not sufficient,
is it? As far as I can see, the steps in the Wiki
page are to be used in conjunction with the default
scripts..(?)..
Edit needed to do a "brctl addrbr br1" or else I get an error it
does not recognize eth1 in the next step.
# brctl addif br1 eth1
# ip link set eth1 up
When finished "ifconfig" does not show br1, but "brctl show" does.
ifconfig by itself (no -a) will not show interfaces
which are in DOWN state.
Not sure who contributed that page to the Wiki, I suspect
it was multiple people - but one of the issues with
that is keeping information that is very version-specific
all current.
I'd like to get the correct information into the User
Manual with examples, and since that is distributed
with the source tree - it can be better relied upon
without ambiguity on version applicability.
That requires the developers and anyone changing the
scripts, interface, tools etc. to submit doc changes
*with* their code patch. Also, of course, getting it
up to par to begin with.
Don't know how many people make and install the documentation
with each Xen release, though.
Note, the above is not a substitute for the Wiki, which is
and can be a very useful and convenient medium to disseminate
information :) - but just to provide a reliable information
source for setup.
thanks,
Nivedita
