Title: bonding inside a bridge does not update ARP correctly when bridged net accessed from within a VM Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qemu-kvm package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm Description: Ubuntu 10.4.2 Release: 10.04 When setting a KVM host with a bond0 interface made of eth0 and eth1 and using this bond0 interface for a bridge to KVM VMs, the ARP tables do not get updated correctly so it is not possible for a VM to reach an IP on the bridged network up until that remote system has pinged the VM itself. Reproducible: 100%, with any of the load balancing mode How to reproduce the problem - Prerequisites: 1 One KVM system with 10.04.02 server, configured as a virtual host is needed. The following /etc/network/interfaces was used for the test : # grep -v ^# /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto bond0 iface bond0 inet manual post-up ifconfig $IFACE up pre-down ifconfig $IFACE down bond-slaves none bond_mode balance-rr bond-downdelay 250 bond-updelay 120 auto eth0 allow-bond0 eth0 iface eth0 inet manual bond-master bond0 auto eth1 allow-bond0 eth1 iface eth1 inet manual bond-master bond0 auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed bridge-ports bond0 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 9 bridge-hello 2 bridge-maxage 12 bridge_max_wait 0 One VM running Maverick 10.10 server, standard installation, using the following /etc/network/interfaces file : grep -v ^# /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.153.107.92 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.153.107.0 broadcast 10.153.107.255 -------------- On a remote bridged network system : $ arp -an ?
