[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH] example and default IP addresses
In various places in documentation and code, IP addresses are provided as examples, defaults, or dummy configuration. In general the specific IP addresses used in Xen are not always appropriate. (For example, 1.2.3.4 is used in a few places!) The following addresses should be used: * For examples and documentation, 192.0.2.0/24. (See RFC3330.) * For defaults for private networks, a random network from RFC1918. I have randomly selected 172.30.206.0/24 for this purpose and documented this in at the only registry I know of, www.ucam.org/cam-grin. This network should henceforth be used for default configurations of local bridges, test networks, etc. in Xen tools. The following addresses should NOT be used: * 10.0.*.*, 10.1.*.*, 192.168.0.*, 192.168.1.*, etc. Using these addresses gives greatly increased likelihood of collision, as ignorant network administrators and reckless middlebox vendors often pick networks from the bottom of 10/8 and 192.168/16. * 169.254.*.*. These are reserved for zeroconf (ad-hoc networking) and should not be used for Xen private networks, bridges, etc., etc. Use of these addresses by Xen scripts causes trouble on hosts (eg laptops) which find themselves in ad-hoc networking environments. I think this is not hypothetical (!) since at least one Linux distribution have specific code to detect this case and cause Xen startup to fail iff the host already has an external zeroconf address. * 1.2.3.4. WTF !? I have also used 127.0.255.255 in one place where apparently a dummy address is needed (some Linux kernels won't accept a lack of an NFS server address). If 127.0.255.255 is mistakenly used it is unlikely to do any damage to real traffic even if it does escape into the network at large. The attached patch corrects these mistakes, I think. It should NOT be applied to 3.2-testing, needless to say. Ian. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> diff -r 2491691e3e69 docs/man/xend-config.sxp.pod.5
