Xen Networking

Linux, Open Source, Xen Add comments

Here’s my first take on a Xen network that I’m putting together for work.

Xen Network - Take 1

This all takes place in one physical box with 2 physical network interfaces. I’m still not sure this is path we’ll take, but it’s a start. Also, it might have been less complex if I did routing and NATing in Dom0, but for security reasons, I’ve opted to keep Dom0 very minimal. I’ve even considered leaving it off of the network (console only). Any thoughts/suggestions?

Update: As pointed by a confused (but observant) reader… There is no such thing as fif3.0. It should have been labeled vif3.0. Good eye. Guess I was a little sleepy when working on it :)

    Nice article, cleared up a lot of things for me about Xen.

    I don’t have a real suggestion, but I do have a question. What is the app you used to create those images? I am interested in architecting some other stuff. Is that dia or something like it?

    Cheers,

    Clint

    The application is good ol’ Inkscape. I used the Tango color palet.
