Recent versions of iproute2 have changed the acceptable format of command line input. For instance, in "older" versions of iproute2 the following commands worked: ip ad li ip r a 10.0.0/24 via 10.0.0.1 Recent versions however (in the last 6 months or so) do not allow this shorthand input notation. In my iproute2-ss051007 the command: /sbin/ip r returns Object "r" is unknown, try "ip help". You must use a longer notation: /sbin/ip route the /etc/xen/scripts/vif-route script for app-emulation/xen-3.0.0-r2 (as with earlier versions) contains the old shorhand notation as in: ----snippet--- case "$command" in online) ifconfig ${vif} ${main_ip} netmask 255.255.255.255 up echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/${vif}/proxy_arp ipcmd='a' ;; offline) ifdown ${vif} ipcmd='d' ;; esac if [ "${ip}" ] ; then # If we've been given a list of IP addresses, then add routes from dom0 to # the guest using those addresses. for addr in ${ip} ; do ip r ${ipcmd} ${addr} dev ${vif} src ${main_ip} done fi ----snippet---- As a consequence routed interfaces do not work. Push this upstream?
