Installation guide

Below is the commented out line and the new line, containing the network-xen-multi-
bridge parameter to enable multiple network bridges:
#network-script network-bridge
network-script network-xen-multi-bridge
4. Create a script to create multiple network bridges. This example creates a script called
network-xen-multi-bridge.sh in the /etc/xen/scripts/ directory. The following
example script will create two Xen network bridges (xenbr0 and xenbr1); one will be
attached to eth1 and the other one to eth0. To create additional bridges, follow the example
in the script and copy and paste the lines as required:
#!/bin/sh
# network-xen-multi-bridge
# Exit if anything goes wrong.
set -e
# First arg is the operation.
OP=$1
shift
script=/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge.xen
case ${OP} in
start)
$script start vifnum=1 bridge=xenbr1 netdev=eth1
$script start vifnum=0 bridge=xenbr0 netdev=eth0
;;
stop)
$script stop vifnum=1 bridge=xenbr1 netdev=eth1
$script stop vifnum=0 bridge=xenbr0 netdev=eth0
;;
status)
$script status vifnum=1 bridge=xenbr1 netdev=eth1
$script status vifnum=0 bridge=xenbr0 netdev=eth0
;;
*)
echo 'Unknown command: ' ${OP}
echo 'Valid commands are: start, stop, status'
exit 1
esac
5. Make the script executable.
# chmod +x /etc/xen/scripts/network-xen-multi-bridge.sh
6. Restart networking or restart the system to activate the bridges.
# service network restart
Multiple bridges should now be configured for guests on the Xen hypervisor.
