Hi,

Still trying to make my VMs appear on a subnet of their very
own and route traffic to/from them from the Dom0.

This network-multinet script sounds ideal for what I want:

http://thepenguinpriest.com/linux/scripts/network-multinet.html

However, the description of building a routed network says
I need to call the script and give it the "virtual ethernet
device (vethX)" that lives in Dom0.

Where the heck do I get one of those?


This may be as simple as using ethX depending on how the scripts rename stuff.

Also remember that you should do ifconfig -a so that you actually see the vethX devices.

The vethX devices should be created automatically by Xen according to the faq [1]

Section 3.7. Too many vethX and vif0.X
By default, 8 vethX and vif0.X are created. These interfaces are "cheap" but clutter list of interfaces. If you want to allocate only the necessary number, pass netloop.nloopbacks=NUMBER parameter to kernel command line.


Best Regards,
Todd
