[Xen-users] how do I make sure that bridge is active on Xen

[Tapas Mishra <mightydreams@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am doubtful that the default bridge is active.
When I do following no where the bridge name comes how do I make sure
bridge is active.

In /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp following entries are there

# use
#
 (network-script network-bridge)
#
# Your default ethernet device is used as the outgoing interface, by default.
# To use a different one (e.g. eth1) use
#
# (network-script 'network-bridge netdev=eth1')
  (network-script 'network-bridge netdev=eth2'')

# The bridge is named xenbr0, by default.  To rename the bridge, use
#
# (network-script 'network-bridge bridge=<name>')
#### Tapas made changes
 (network-script 'network-bridge bridge=tapas')


The defaul ethernet device is eth2 on my system.
