  Description

  The vnet-attach script is a simplifed way to reattach or add virtual network interfaces in Xen VMs to virtual networks in Domain0. It uses the xm network-attach command to do the work but will parse xenstore to determine the MAC address of the interface you are reattaching so that it's network configuration (IP address, etc.) inside the VM are restored automatically.

  This is an improvement because the xm network-attach command requires that you specify mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX when you attach the interface or the MAC address will be dynamically generated and therefor appear to be a new NIC inside the VM.

Other Xen related scripts:
network-multinet
xend-relocation
