[Xen-users] Xen-3.0. Manually network switch

[Peter.Weiss@xxxxxxxxx]

Hello,

since the effort for getting bonding interfaces to work is a bit to high for
our scenario, I'm developping some other solution for a better network
safety:

The dom0 has two physical network interfaces eth0, eth1. What I'd like to
create is a simple script that creates a second bridge with eth1 rather than
eth0. Replacing peth0 with eth1 does not work.

I'm a bit confused with the Xen network interface naming: vifn.0 corresponds
to the network interfaces of the XenU instances and vifn.1 corresponds to
the second network interfaces of the XenU instances, right?

vif0.0 seems to be some virtual interface that connects the bridge to Xen0,
but what's the peth0 interface and how do I create a peth1 interface?

# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
xenbr0          8000.feffffffffff       no              vif15.0
                                                        vif0.0
                                                        peth0
                                                        vif1.0
                                                        vif2.0
xenbr1          8000.000bcd681c68       no              eth1


If I remove the vif0.0 interfaces from xenbr0 I can't ping eth1 anymore.

How should this work?

TIA -- Peter
