Its an artifact of the current inband behavior in OVS, see my discussion titled "ARP Behavior in XenServer Host" for more detail. I have a patch that will limit ARP passthru to only the absolutely required IPs if interested.

This is expected for inband because in order for the dp to connect to the controller ARP must pass through? (Though this IP address isn't the one that it would actually use to talk to the controller though. )

Just curious.

Thanks,
Aaron

    Are you in inband mode? If so this is expected.

    Subject: [ovs-discuss] fail-mode secure behavior
    Date: Sun, Nov 13, 2011 12:27 pm


    Hello I had a quick question about the fail secure behavior.

    I have created a dp0 and added eth3.1750 to it. Then I put
     10.43.100.14  on dp0.

    Now if I run ping -I dp0 10.43.100.34 , and run tcpdump on eth3 I
    see my arp packets leaving the box even though I have dp0 set as
    fail-secure.

    Is this the expected behavior?

    Thanks,

    Aaron
