Re: [Xen-users] network (NAT?) problem

Marcus,

Thanks for the details. I have a suspicion that there may be an issue with connection tracking. Each packet from dom2 to the outside world makes two passages through dom0: once when traversing xen-br1 going between dom2 and dom1 and once when coming in from dom1 to dom0. I'm wondering is connection tracking is getting confused. I'm going to try to replicate this configuration and investigate.

Markus,

You say the routing of packets between dom2 and dom0 doesn't work as intended - can you elaborate on this, i.e. where do packets get to, do you see them if you tcpdump eth1 and eth0 in dom1?


Ehm, the routing between dom2 and dom0 _does_ work, but something with NAT
in dom0 seems to go wrong for packets from dom2. I see the traffic between
dom0 and dom2 on the interfaces in dom1.


Do you have any IP tables rules in dom0 that would affect packets on xen-br1?

Can you post the following for all domains:
- iptables details (both nat and filter tables)
- routing tables
- ifconfig
- cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

And brctl show for dom0.

                                                        vif2.0

hmm, is it normal, that xen-br1 and xen-br10 have the same bridge id?
If not, any hints were to change them?


Thanks,

James

Hello,

my current network setup looks like the following:

  dom2-eth0 (172.30.1.22) netmask /24
      |
      | xen-br1 (no ip)
      |
  dom1-eth0 (172.30.1.21) netmask /24
  dom1-eth1 (172.30.0.21) netmask /24
      |
      | xen-br10 (172.30.0.1) netmask /24
      |
    dom0
      |
      | xen-br0 (normal IP)
      |
     eth0 (same IP as xen-br0)
      |
      |
     LAN

Basically I want to route all traffic between dom0 and dom2 through dom1.
This does work as intended.
I further would like to have access to the LAN from dom1 and dom2 through
NAT in dom0. It works for dom1, but not for dom2. The addresses of packets

from dom2 were not changed (noticed with tcpdump -n -i eth0 in dom0).

In dom0 NAT is set up with:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.30.0.0/16 -o xen-br0 -j MASQUERADE

If I leave out the -s parameter nothing changes.

I'm running debian sarge in all doms and xen-2.0.6.

Any suggestions? What am I missing?

Regards,
Markus Lude
