The Xen dom0 infrastructure provides for a bridged networking setup using shell
scripts to configure the bridging device properly and attach the domUs' virtual
interfaces to the bridge. However, we've [seen
problems](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2008-08/msg00023.html)
when using this approach, so to [solve these
issues](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2008-09/msg00071.html),
instead suggest the following configuration method (to achieve the same thing).
This is for a Debian dom0.
# */etc/network/interfaces*
Comment out everything referencing your physical devices. Add this:
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports regex (eth|vif).* noregex
... or if you want to do the manual configuration dance:
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
bridge_ports regex (eth|vif).* noregex
address 192.168.10.60
netmask 255.255.255.0
[...]
This needs a version of the `bridge-utils` package more recent than the current
Debian stable one ([[!debbug 405215]]). (It's trivial to rebuild the `dpkg` of,
e.g., the Debian testing one on Debian stable.)
# */etc/xen/xend-config.sxp*
Make sure that only `(network-script network-dummy)` and `(vif-script
vif-bridge)` are activated and all other `(network-script network-WHATEVER)`,
respective `(vif-script vif-WHATEVER)` are commented out.
# Sample configuration files on Debian Lenny
## /etc/xen/hurd on dom0
kernel = "/boot/gnumach-xen"
memory = 256
disk = ['phy:sda5,hda,w']
extra = "root=device:hd0"
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:00, bridge=br0' ]
ramdisk = "/boot/hurd-modules"
/dev/sda5 is an extended partition. br0 is bridge interface on dom0.
## /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp on dom0
(network-script 'network-bridge netdev=br0')
(dom0-min-mem 196)
(dom0-cpus 0)
(vncpasswd '')
## /etc/network/interfaces on dom0
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.211
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth1
eth1 is the interface that is connected to the Internet on the LAN:
## Doing settrans on domU
settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 -a 192.168.1.210 -g 192.168.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0
## /sbin/ifconfig on dom0
