I'm trying to setup a Xen guest. I have installed Xen and now working on a Dom-0:

Now I'm trying to setup a bridge. I'm following the instructions in https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Beginners_Guide



My configuration file is:



$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

auto xenbr0
iface xenbr0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0


If I run sudo service networking restart it takes more than a minute.



Then the state of the bridge is strange:



$ sudo brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr0 8000.000000000000 no


The bridge has no real id and is not enabled.



I tried several different configurations for /etc/network/interfaces all of them failed.



Any ideas, why I can't setup a xen bridge?

  • The output is saying it has an id. STP a bridge negotiation protocol, not the bridge per se, and if nowadays it is by default enabled, so much the better. So, I think, your question as it is does not make sense.
