[Xen-users] Strange network problem (Etch)
Hi,
I am trying to install xen, and am running into a strange network
problem. When I enable the bridge, I my machine looses its network
connectivity - except to the local net.
I can access the machine from another box on the same net, ping and ssh
work fine. But any attempt to contact the machine from the outside, or
to contact anything outside that net from the box itself fails
miserably.
The machine is some sort of HP, located at a co-lo facility. It has two
net cards (tg3), each with its own address (once upon a time we had two
machines...)
# ifconfig

My routing table is simple:
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
xx.xxx.xx.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1

0.0.0.0 xx.xxx.xx.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
I have tried to enable the network bridge in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
(here without all the comments):
# cat xend-config.sxp | sed '/^#.*$/d' | sed '/^$/d'
(network-script network-bridge)
(vif-script vif-bridge)
(dom0-min-mem 196)
(dom0-cpus 0)
When I run
/etc/init.d/xend restart
I get the new network devices all right:

My route looks much like it did before:
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
xx.xxx.xx.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

0.0.0.0 xx.xxx.xx.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
As far as I can see, the bridge is there all right:
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr1 8000.feffffffffff no vif0.1
peth1
Now I can ping the other machine I have on that net:
ping falaffel
PING falaffel.xxx.xx (xx.xxx.xx.140) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from falaffel.xxx.xx (xx.xxx.xx.140): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=3.62 ms
64 bytes from falaffel.xxx.xx (xx.xxx.xx.140): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.359 ms
64 bytes from falaffel.xxx.xx (xx.xxx.xx.140): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.357 ms
64 bytes from falaffel.xxx.xx (xx.xxx.xx.140): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.357 ms
--- falaffel.indexdata.dk ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 2999ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.357/1.173/3.620/1.412 ms
But trying to ping a machine on the outside net fails miserably:
kafta:~# ping bagel
PING bagel.xxx.xx (yyy.yyy.yy.11) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- bagel.xxx.xx ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3008ms
I tried the trick with
# ethtool -K eth0 tx off
# ethtool -K eth1 tx off
but that does not help anything.
Actually, I would like to set things up a bit differently, but first I
wanted to get this setup to work, to be sure I understand what is going
on. I post another message about the config I really want. But I still
need to get this problem solved first!
Any and all help would be appreciated. I hope I have provided all
necesary information, but if not, just ask, and I will gladly give more.
I am under some pressure to get this up and running soon!
