Re: [Xen-users] IP-Address for DomUs via configuration script possible?

[Marc Patino Gómez <mpatino@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would try to put a MAC address in domU config file (XEN has his own 
MAC range),
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0']

and configure your DHCP server to assign a known  IP address to  this  
MAC. For example:
host Windoze1{
   hardware ethernet 00:16:3e:00:00:11;
   fixed-address 192.168.2.101;
     }


Regards,

Marc
