severity 387762 important
thanks
Hi Sebastian
I have now looked at this problem and determined that it is only a documentation
issue. This is what I have added to the code.
if [ $(cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$DEV/proxy_arp) == 0 ] ; then
vzwarning "Function proxy_arp for $DEV is set to 0. Enable with 'sysctl
-w net.ipv4.conf.$DEV.proxy_arp=1'. See /usr/share/doc/vzctl/README.Debian."
fi
I have also updated the README.Debian file to contain this information.
Network configuration:
----------------------
You may need to enable proxy_arp for the network devices that you want
your virtual hosts to be accessable on.
sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.$DEV.proxy_arp=1
You can add this to a specific interface in the network configuration
(/etc/network/interfaces) by the following lines:
up sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.%DEV%.proxy_arp=1
pre-down sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.%DEV%.proxy_arp=0
Replace %DEV% with your device name (ie. eth0).
I think this solves this bug.
Regards,
// Ola
