Re: [Xen-users] Re: Dom0 network restart required

Yes, we are using bridges in dom0 for setup domU but routing on network side to reach my dom0 from outside.

btw thanks for the suggestion, your solution really works.

Do you know the difference between routing and bridged setup? From
that output it looks like you're using bridged setup.

When it comes to arp issue, they usually say that :D
Some alternatives:
- try to find out why your gateway/switches can't find your dom0 arp
entry. This can be ... complicated.
- put static arp entry on your gateway. This works, but not really
recommended, plus your network guys may not allow such setup
- setup dom0 to periodically send outgoing packets. A simple ping to
gateway in crontab should be enough. This will ensure that network
devices will keep up to date entry of dom0's MAC address.
