Hi, Add support for "hostonly" networking, i.e. create a bridge without a physical network device linked in. The virtual machines can see each other and the host, but can't (directly) talk to the outside. Pass "netdev=none" to the network-bridge script to activate this. I'm using this on a laptop which has different network connections at different times (wired / wireless), so it is inconvinient to add the physical device into the bridge. In case the laptop is offline the virtual network still works just fine. It also avoids the problem that bridging doesn't work with wireless due to being limited to one mac address then. dom0 on that laptop also runs a dhcp server for the virtual network. Guests can talk to the internet via apache configured as http proxy. Another possible approach for guest internet access is NATing the virtual network. please apply, Gerd Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@xxxxxxx> --- tools/examples/network-bridge | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Index: build-32-unstable-11624/tools/examples/network-bridge =================================================================== --- build-32-unstable-11624.orig/tools/examples/network-bridge +++ build-32-unstable-11624/tools/examples/network-bridge @@ -269,6 +269,31 @@ op_stop () { brctl delbr ${bridge} } +op_start_hostonly () { + if [ "${bridge}" = "null" ] ; then + return + fi + if link_exists "${bridge}"; then + return + fi + + create_bridge ${bridge} + setup_bridge_port ${vif0} + add_to_bridge ${bridge} ${vif0} +} + +op_stop_hostonly () { + if [ "${bridge}" = "null" ]; then + return + fi + if ! link_exists "$bridge"; then + return + fi + + brctl delbr ${bridge} +} + + # adds $dev to $bridge but waits for $dev to be in running state first add_to_bridge2() { local bridge=$1 @@ -293,11 +318,19 @@ add_to_bridge2() { case "$command" in start) - op_start + if test "$netdev" = "none"; then + op_start_hostonly + else + op_start + fi ;; stop) - op_stop + if test "$netdev" = "none"; then + op_stop_hostonly + else + op_stop + fi ;; status) -- _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
