Hi,

I have a bridged OpenVPN setup where the OpenVPN tap0 driver is bridged (via bridge0) to the physical em1 interface, which has a VIP via a carp1 interface:

em1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

The problem I have is that when I ping the VIP from a VPN client (on tap0), the server receives arp requests for the VIP on tap0, but it does not respond to them:

# tcpdump -i tap0 -ln
11:29:13.637048 arp who-has 10.0.80.74 tell 10.0.80.6

Is there any way to get the server to respond to arp requests on tap0 for the VIP?


Maybe you've to do ARP Proxy on one side ? Try to add an ARP entry in
the ARP table with arp (arp -s 1.2.3.4 MAC foo) ..

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, static arp works: that is, if I take the carp1 mac address and add it to the arp table using:

 arp -s 10.0.80.74 00:00:5e:00:01:02 pub

The ping starts to work. I'm still a bit confused why I have to do this though, because I can ping the non-shared IP 10.0.80.77 from the VPN client (via tap0) without any static arp, and I can ping the shared VIP (10.0.80.74) from clients on the physical network (em1) as well without any static arp. It's only when the ping it has to cross the bridge that it's an issue.

Does it make any difference if you set the IP address on the bridge0
iface and not on the physical one?

I recall that the recommended setup is to use IP addresses on
the bridge interface and leave the members of the bridge IPless.
