Hi,
I use a EQ 4 dedicated root server by hetzner with ubuntu jaunty. I
installed xen 3.3 with debian kernel and brought up 3 domUs.
Now comes networking...
Hetzner does not allow bridged networking so I have to use routed mode
in xen. No Problem so far, but the Problem actually is:
When I bring up a domU the routing table is created by the xen-script
vif-routing. The network interface name for this is created
dynamically, depending on the domU ID.
Example:
If the domU ID is 16, the network interfaces name will be vif16.0 in
the dom0. So I tell shorewall (iptables frontend) that it shall ACCEPT
traffic from an to
vif16.0. The next time I restart my server or just the domU, there's a
new network interface name, that the shorewall firewall does not know...
As far as I know there's no way to tell a xen domU to get a static ID,
so the network interface name would be static as well.
Any Ideas or solutions?
