[Xen-devel] Creating Aliases in Domains

[Phil C. <pa...@fo...>]

  FYI,

  This may be known, but I discovered how to create an alias interface
  for a domain. Using the same gateway as the primary nic
  doesn't work for a Debian-stable xenU. Using the network number
  the bridge IP, or the primary eth0 number seems to work ok:
  

iface eth0 inet static 
  address 214.213.44.21
  netmask 255.255.255.240
  gateway 214.213.44.17

iface eth0:1 inet static 
  address 214.213.44.22
  gateway 214.213.44.21 (or .18 which is the Xen0 ip)
  netmask 255.255.255.240

 The alias (virtual if) is routing to the bridge.
 If you see a better way please share.
