Yes, 6.0.3.
I must say I created the xen vm using xen-create-image which seems to
install only the bare minimum debian jessie.

A bit weird.
First time, it did not start automatically.
Once I completed the installation wizard, it starts automatically.
At least, I have now a management interface.

My guess is that something is wrong with the VLAN setup.
I can not ping any vlan interface, except vlan interface, which is untagged.
The cause can either be on the hypervisor side or on the PF vm side.
At the hypervisor side, the vlan setup is at follows:
Port "vif27.0"
tag: 1
trunks: [12, 13, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60]
Interface "vif27.0"
At the PF side, the VLAN is generated by the wizard and is it follows:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
auto eth0.12
iface eth0.12 inet static
address 192.168.12.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth0.13
iface eth0.13 inet static
address 192.168.13.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth0.20
iface eth0.20 inet static
address 192.168.20.45
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth0.40
iface eth0.40 inet static
address 192.168.40.45
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth0.50
iface eth0.50 inet static
address 192.168.50.45
netmask 255.255.255.0
Is this correct?
