Hi

I'm reading through the Xen Wiki, and see some mentioning about setting up a second physical NIC as bridge to have 2 NIC's in the domU's.

Ideally I'd like to split private traffic, between physical servers, from internet traffic. All our servers have 2 NIC's, so I've setup a 192.168.10.0/24 subnet for private IP traffic. I have also added another "vif=....." statement to my domU config file, as such:


vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:53:ca:72,bridge=xenbr0", "mac=00:16:3e:53:ca:73,bridge=xenbr1" ]


But when I start the domU, I get an error saying that xenbr0 doesn't exist. It did exist earlier when before I added the extra vif / xenbr1 device. So, it seems like it can only have one xenbX device.

What's the proper way of getting this working?
