How To Enable Networking In Xen Guests On Hetzner's New EQ Servers (Debian Lenny) | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials

falko — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:56:00 -0400

This tutorial shows how you can enable networking in Xen guests (domU) on Hetzner's new EQ servers. With the new EQ servers, you can get up to three additional IPs that are in the same subnet as the server's main IP. The problem is that these additional IPs are bound to the MAC address of the host system (dom0) - Hetzner's routers will dump IP packets if they come from an unknown MAC address. This means we cannot use Xen's bridged mode, but must switch to Xen's routed mode where the host system (dom0) acts as the gateway for the guests.

Of course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download files. Tagged by falko under webdav, apache, ubuntu, dav,
