I have some issues with the following setup:
Debian Stretch (Frozen Testing) as a dom0. I have configured thre bridges (xenbr0, xenbr1, xenbr2) The /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:
auto xenbr0
allow-hotplug xenbr0
iface xenbr0 inet static
bridge_ports eth0
address $Host_Ip
broadcast $Broadcast
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway $Gateway
bridge_stp off
bridge_waitport 0
bridge_fd 0
auto xenbr1
allow-hotplug xenbr1
iface xenbr1 inet manual
pre-up brctl addbr $IFACE
up ip link set $IFACE up
post-down brctl delbr $IFACE
down ip link set $IFACE down
bridge_stp off
bridge_waitport 0
bridge_fd 0
xenbr2 Looks the same as xenbr1. The bridge connected to eth0 works fine, the host is reachable and vms connected to it can establish their own network connections.
The issue is with the other two bridges which should create host only networks. The interfaces in the connected vms won't come up. Manually running
sudo ip link set dev eth1 up
-> RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address
The vif config in the vm.cfg looks the following
vif = [ 'ip=$PublicIP,mac=00:16:3E:28:97:28,bridge=xenbr0',
'ip=10.3.141.1,mac=BD:5D:11:60:32:35,bridge=xenbr1',
'ip=192.168.42.1,mac=E3:26:AE:BE:E0:39,bridge=xenbr2'
]
I currently assume, the issue is caused by a misconfiguration in the /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
Enabled is the following:
(network-script network-bridge)
(vif-script vif-bridge)
Everything I found regarding that config file has been several (~10) years old.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
