[Xen-users] Manually setting IP address in domain config file

[Michael Musson <musson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I'm attempting to manually set my domain eth0 address in the domain
config file instead of using DHCP.  Here's the config file:

        kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4xenU"
        memory = 64
        name = "D1"
        dhcp = "off"
        nics = 1
        disk = ['file:/root/xen/d1/d1.img,sda1,w']
        root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
        nics = 1
        vif  = ['mac=AA:00:00:18:98:FB']
        netmask = "255.255.255.0"
        ip = "10.10.10.11"
        gateway = "10.10.10.99"

The dmesg output is:

<snip>
Kernel command line:
ip=10.10.10.11:1.2.3.4:10.10.10.99:255.255.255.0::eth0:off
root=/dev/sda1 ro
<snip>

Then, eth0 can be brought with "ifconfig eth0 up", but it doesn't have
an IP address assigned.  Is there something I'm missing out on?

Best,
Michael
