RE: [Xen-users] Re: How to Networking Bridge?

[Kimus Linuxus <kimus.linuxus@xxxxxxxxx>]

in the manual says that we could configure a direct access to the physical device:

5.3 Driver Domain Configuration
5.3.1   PCI
Individual PCI devices can be assigned to a given domain (a PCI driver domain) to
allow that domain direct access to the PCI hardware.
While PCI Driver Domains can increase the stability and security of a system by ad-
dressing a number of security concerns, there are some security issues that remain that
you can read about in Section 9.2.

You are saying that the real transfer rate will be the one that the real device will have. rigth?
What do I need to configure to emulate the realtec?

Is it possible to pass a physical device to the VM not an emulated?
If could be possible to assign a real device to the VM then no bridge, routing or nat would be necessary. right?

I DID IT!!

I had to compile tun kernel module (Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6) . After this all worked Fine!!

Another question: my network is at 10Mbps (?!) is there some configuration? My ethX is 1Gb!!! 
 

That doesn't really matter. It's just a VIRTUAL network card anyways, so you're not going to be limited by the "10Mbps" in any real way... It's just part of the emulation of the network card that uses a pretty basic PCNet32 device, which doesn't say 100Mbps or 1Gbps... It wouldn't be very hard to change that, but what's the point - it never hits any real hardware, so whatever the number reported, it's not actually reflecting anything real. Having said all that, the latest QEMU version (in xen unstable) also supports a couple of new network cards, including a 100Mbps realtek 8139. Not that it will make much of a difference to the ACTUAL transfer rate tho'.

Hi,

I've a working xen 3.0.2 booting a gentoo linux on Dom0.

I have setup a Windows XP in a DomU OK with no problems except the
network!!

My problem is that I wanted to give a working network interface on the
DomU and the best I could. making the windows detect an network adapter,
was putting:

    vif = ['type=ioemu']

I also tryied:

    vif = ['type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0']


Could never ping a external from DomU!!


What I know: 

    - the ethX device is a logical device and the physical device is
renamed to pethX;
    - the vifX.Y devices are linked with ethY from DomX (ie.: vif1.0 <->
Dom1 eth0); 
    - there is also a vethX ...

What configuration I have to do on Dom0?
What configuration I have to do on DomU?


When rebooting I have always need to do 'ifconfig ethX up' !!!


thanx
