I have setup a star topology where I have a central server runing ovs
that has 16 nics installed. I have 6 servers connected through those
nics also running ovs. My first question, is this even possible? I do
not have any switches at all. All servers are connected to the central
server and have ports configured as SLB trunk bonds at both ends. I
have created internal interfaces on each server's bridge in the same
vlan and can ping between the servers through the central server. My
problem is that I can't see ARP requests from one server go through the
central server to get to the other server. I can't even see arp
requests hit the internal interface on the central server! I can see
requests from the central server go to each server and get responses
back, but nothing coming from the other direction. What could be the
problem? It seems like the central server isn't flooding the trunks so
that the internal interfaces can see the requests. Could something on
the central server be blocking broadcasts? Any help in pointing me in
the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
