XEN: Bridge Networking

[dalamar]

Hi all,

I've got a problem with Xen Network Configuration.

I want to create a Bridge between domU interfaces and a Dummy Interface in dom0 and then route all traffic towards my wlan0 interface connected to Internet.

Xen seems to configure all in this way but my domU is isolated from the rest of the network.

This is my domU Network configuration:

I tried that setup but had problems so instead I did a brouted seup http://en.opensuse.org/Xen3_and_a_Virtual_Network then I used the PHYSDEV match support in iptables along with MASQUERADE to NAT the traffic to the wlan0 device (this may work with a dummy device as well)

I recently set-up a bridged network for some virtual machines running on VirtualBox, but I had the VBox guests on the same network range as the host.

I set up IPTables forwarding allow rules for the bridged interface to allow traffic from the guests IP. But the clincher for me was to add a rule to allow established and related traffic back to the bridged interface.

However, this is not masquerading (it's a traditional network bridge in that sense), just forwarding.



Cheers,
