Hi!
Can anybody tell me where i can find docs about handling network bridges for xen domUs in Fedora 7?
Something changed since FC6, so i cannot figure out how to create simple bridges without dhcp for my xen domUs.
Previously there was a xen module called 'netloop' in use. So if you used network-bridge, you'd get 4 interfaces
peth0 - physical device xenbr0 - bridge device vif0.0 - backend of virtual device eth0 - frontend of virtual device
peth0 & vif0.0 would be part of xenbr0
In F7, use of netloop is removed to simplify dom0 config so you only get two interfaces
peth0 - physical device eth0 - bridge device
And peth0 is part of the eth0 bridge.
Oh btw, before anyone asks - we added compatability code to vif-bridge, so if you have any existing guest config files which refer to 'xenbr0' they will automatically join the eth0 bridge device instead. So existing guests are supposed to 'just work' even though the Dom0 network config changed a little.
