gentoo cant attach bridge

gentoo cant attach bridge

[Alexey M.]

Hi, i configure xen 4.1.1 on gentoo and configured bridge in this system
xenbr0

brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr0 8000.984be16d4aac yes vlan201

then chenged:
 /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
(vif-script vif-bridge)
(network-script /bin/true)

cat /etc/xen/guest|grep vif

vif = [ "mac=00:16:36:6b:93:ef, bridge=xenbr0" ]

But:
xl create guest
brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr0 8000.984be16d4aac yes vlan201

No any new interfaces.
In log xend:
2011-09-12 15:11:41 2373] INFO (XendNetwork:114) Not recreating missing
unmanaged network vlan121
[2011-09-12 15:11:41 2373] INFO (XendNetwork:114) Not recreating missing
unmanaged network eth0
[2011-09-12 15:11:41 2373] INFO (XendNetwork:114) Not recreating missing
unmanaged network xenbr1

I have vlan121 eth0 xenbr1, but do not use in any xen files

Please show me the right path!

Hi!
I have configured the bridge xenbr0 for my gentoo too and I don't have
this problem.

You have vlan201 (?) I use eth0, but this is not so relevant I guess,
and I don't use STP.

Remember that with the new toolstack xl, the xend daemon is no longer used.
Actually, you may see that with the new version of xen-tools the
"xend" use flag has
been disabled. So, get rid of that now and configure the bridge at system level.

This is the content of my /etc/conf.d/net file, to have the bridge ON
at startup:
config_eth0="null"

bridge_xenbr0="eth0"

brctl_xenbr0=(
 "setfd 0"
 "stp off"
)

config_xenbr0=(
   "dhcp"
)

Then I've put net.xenbr0 in the default runlevel in order to have it
up automatically at boot time.

This is no longer needed. The only bridge settings I've found is in the
/etc/xen/xl.conf file.

I never see new interfaces there, but the guest always started with the
network activated. Now I have other problems which I've posted to this
list yesterday,
but no replies yet :(

In any case, don't forget to migrate to the new toolstack as suggested.

Bye
