How to associate a VIF to a Network

martinpedros

Hi:

It's my first time using the forum and I'm new to XCPng & Xen Orchestra. I wanted to know if there is a way to associate a VIF with a Network, and that the same VIF is not automatically used in another Network.

The query is because I have had to create a network between two VMs, without associating a physical interface, and a VIF used in another network is associated with it. I couldn't find a way to do it in XO.

Thanks in advance!

@olivierlambert Hi guys!

First of all, many thanks to @olivierlambert and @ha_tu_su for their quick responses and I apologize for my delay in responding.

I am very new to using XCPng, but it is such a good product that I am not going to rest until I learn it since I intend to replace the ESXi that I have with XCPng!

I was able to realize my problem, which is that as I am deleting and registering interfaces in the VMs to test, sometimes the VIFs are exchanged and the interfaces of the VMs are changed.

I solved it by deleting and adding the interfaces in the order that I want the VIFs to be assigned, and everything works perfectly for me, even the networks that are not interconnected to a physical port, but rather are to interconnect the VMs internally.

I already have everything I need working! Thank you very much for all the support, I see that it is a very active community and I hope soon to be helping too...

Hi,

I'm not sure to understand your need. Can you explain with more details? Every time you create a VIF, you assign it to a network.

If you want to create an internal network for the VMs to talk to each other without that traffic getting out of a physical NIC, private network is what you are looking for.

Take a look at this post: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/7309/option-to-create-host-only-private-network
