[Xen-users] Problem Bridging Connections

[Casey DeLorme <cdelorme@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Xen Users,

I need a hand with bridging network connections.

I am running Xen 4.2 with a Debian Wheezy Dom0.

My objective is to run a HVM PFSense, with eth0 to xenbr0 as WAN and xenbr1 to eth1 as LAN, and I want Dom0 inside the network (part of LAN not WAN).

As far as I can tell it is working, a Windows 7 x64 HVM and a Debian Squeeze HVM both have Internet access using xenbr1, and eth1 is wired to a switch where five additional devices also have Internet access.

However, Dom0 does not receive a connection at all, and has no access inside the LAN or to the Internet.

The basic appearance of my /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo xenbr0 xenbr1

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

iface xenbr0 inet manual

bridge_ports eth0

iface xenbr1 inet manual

bridge_ports eth1

I have tried setting a static IP on xenbr1, and eth1 to no avail.  ifconfig sees the values but no access to LAN is available.

I also tried a bridge to bridge from xenbr1 to a static bridge, also did not work.

When I set any of them to dhcp I just get a huge boot time delay because PFSense isn't running yet, and no connection even five minutes after every other device is already accessing.

Can anyone please provide a solution?

Thanks,

~Casey
