Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Changing MAC address of vifs in dom0
I can't check now but you might need to set the vif interface down before you change the address

I'm attempting to bridge several vifs in the dom0, and I am unable to access all but one of them.  I am seeing the message "received packet with own address as source address".  After looking at http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=339, I realized that all the vifs in the dom0 have the same mac, and was confusing the bridging.  I tried to follow the instructions in the link to change the macs, but "ip link set <dev> addr <lladdr>" returns "RETNETLINK: Operation not supported."

Anyone have any ideas?

If it helps, I'm running Xen 4.0.0_21091_05-78.3 on OpenSuse 11.3, kernel 2.6.34.2-0.0.3.e7fab2f-xen x86_64 (kernel of the day 8/4/10).
