In honor of Xen Doc Day, I’ve put up some basic HOWTOs for setting up bridging on CentOS 6 and 7. I’m far from an expert, so I’d appreciate any feedback.

The howtos can be found here:

  • If you’d like to extend that a little bit, here’s example configs on how to do LACP and vlan tagging on c6:

    host network-scripts # cat ifcfg-eth0
    DEVICE=eth0
    ONBOOT=yes USEERCTL=no BOOTPROTO=none IPV6INIT=no MTU00
    MASTER=bond0
    SLAVE=yes

    host network-scripts # cat ifcfg-eth1
    DEVICE=eth1
    ONBOOT=yes USEERCTL=no BOOTPROTO=none IPV6INIT=no MTU00
    MASTER=bond0
    SLAVE=yes

    host network-scripts # cat ifcfg-bond0
    DEVICE=bond0
    ONBOOT=yes USEERCTL=no BOOTPROTO=none IPV6INIT=no BONDING_OPTS=”miimon0 mode

  • Hey Nathan,

    Thanks for the feedback. I meant the HOWTOs to be for a super-basic setup. I presume someone who wants vlans and what-not can read the full RHEL 6 / 7 documentation (which I linked to from the parent document, https://wiki.CentOS.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart.

    If you want to add a new wiki page with your suggested setup, and link to it from the main page, that would be good as well.

    Ah, thanks — missed that one when copy-and-pasting from my testing scripts. :-)

    Peace,
