Procedure
Create an Alieas for ETH1
On VICTORIA , run the following commands to create a subinterface on eth1 :

cat >ifcfg-eth1:1 <<DONE
# Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
DEVICE=eth1:1
HWADDR=00:1B:21:D9:A1:AF
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=xenbr1
NM_CONTROLLED=no
DONE
Create the Bridge for the RAC Interconnect
On VICTORIA , run the following commands to create a brigdeg that uses a subinterface on eth1 :
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
cat >ifcfg-xenbr1 <<DONE
DEVICE=xenbr1
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255
IPADDR=192.168.2.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
DELAY=0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
DONE
Activate the Bridge
The new bridge is activated by restarting the network service as follows:
service network restart
