WORK DONEWORK DONESuccessful installation of the

guest OS’s working on Xen, acting as a para virtual environment.

Configuration of the Host OS into a router and setting up of a virtual network.

Establishment of communication between two different networks within the virtual environment

ROUTER CONFIGURATIONROUTER CONFIGURATION

Steps for configuring Host OS(OpenSuse 11.1) into Router:

1)Disable the bridged(default) mode.2)Create a private network.3)Change firewall settings.4)For each domU in vm directory add “bridge=br1” in the MAC address.5)To each domU assign an IP address and route via the host.
