You can run Ganeti either in "bridged mode" or in "routed mode". In
425
bridged mode, the default, the instances network interfaces will be
426
attached to a software bridge running in dom0. Xen by default creates
427
such a bridge at startup, but your distribution might have a different
428
way to do things, and you'll definitely need to manually set it up under
429
KVM.

in Xen 2.0) while Xen 3.0 uses ``xenbr0`` by default. See the

instances, through their interface, in the table you specified (under

KVM, and in the main table under Xen).

Also for "openvswitch mode" under Xen a custom network script is needed.
453
Under KVM everything should work, but you'll need to configure your

switches outside of Ganeti (as for bridges).
