Introduction
I try to put on this pages informations about configuration for differents network targets. This is for Xen 3 unless specified.
I think most of the time creating vethX//vifX.0 is useless, they should be created on demand.
For a DomU named peter, I would prefer an interface named vif-peter.0 instead of vifX.0
Dom0 point-to-point to each DomU
The goal is to have a single link between one Dom0 and one DomU
DomU and Dom0 on virtual network
The goal is to have many DomU and Dom0 on the same virtual network. Dom0 is acting as a router/firewall.
There is a solution shown here: [http://en.opensuse.org/Xen3_and_a_Virtual_Network]
DomU and Dom0 on real network
The goal is to have DomU on the same real network as Dom0 and other real computers.
Point-to-point between two DomU
The goal is to have a link between two DomU. Dom0 is not supposed to RX, TX or do filter on this network.
Virtual Network between DomU
The goal is to create a virtual network between many DomU. Dom0 is not supposed to RX, TX or do filter on this network.
Everything
The goal is to have a mix of differents links.
