Subject: [Xen-users] Network down after /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge

Hi,

I'm trying to install XEN 3.1.0 on a OpenSUSE 10.2 server (self configured
kernel 2.6.18).

My XenU-kernel is booting. After starting "xend start", my network is down:
Neither I can reach other hosts, nor is the server reachable from other
hosts.

Here is the output from "ifconfig" and "route -n" BEFORE starting "xend"
(the network address is replaced by AAA.BBB.CCC):

As far as I can see, everything seems to be correct, isn't it?

I set all IPTABLES-policies to "ACCEPT" and switched on the forwarding, but
the network remains down.

The server is part of a university network with very restrictive rules. I
think only traffic from registered network cards (MAC registered) is
accepted.
Can this make trouble?
But the MAC is transferred correctly in my example?

Could it be a wrong kernel configuration?

Has to newly created eth0 to be a port of xenbr0 (it's not yet)?
If not, how can I reach the bridge (and the outside world), I can see no
routing to it?
Or is eth0 connected with vif0.0?

I'm new in bridges and Xen, so please be patient :-)
The documentation I read doesn't cover these (for newbies like me)


Thank You for Your time,


Marc Mueller
