You can look at this for a bridging guide
http://www.linux.com/howtos/BRIDGE-STP-HOWTO/practical-example.shtml
Which also has some init scripts.

Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Dummy
ethernet device setup
Hello Patrick
Thanks
a lot for this input, but my question goes more in the direction, how you
should setup your system, so that everything starts up automatically. I can't
execute your steps by hand on a productive server and to write a shell script,
which I let run in rc.local, is from my view also not so a clean solution.
That's why my question goes for a definite guide to setup such network
configurations.
Can
I do this steps with ifcfg-xxxx files, how do I create a second bridge in a
clean way and how do I arrage the assignement of the vif to the bridges. All
this is just about the setup of dom0.
So,
the question is not how to do it, it how to do it clean and propper on a Fedora
Core 4 system. Thanks a lot for all ideas. If a lot of good proposal will come
in, I will try to find the time to write such a guide and post it to this
mailing list. Thanks a lot for all the hints and links.
bye
Philipp

Just
use veth1/vif0.1 as your connection from dom0 to xenbr1:
brctl addif vif0.1
ip link set veth1 address 00:16:3e:f1:e2:d3 arp on up
ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev veth1
to remove it:
ip link set veth1 down
ip addr flush dev veth1
brctl delif vif0.1
