However, if I go into the XenCenter UI and click the “Console” tab to view the VM’s login screen, all of a sudden SSH and ping works again. It’s as if systemd is waiting for the login screen to be viewed before it allows SSH to work. Is this some kind of systemd socket-activated functionality related to the getty service? How can I prevent this so that I can log in via SSH after reboot without having to run the XenCenter UI?

If even the ping does not work, it sounds more like an issue with firewall to
me. I have no idea if xen modifies the firewall, check its state before and
after running xen and compare the differences.
