Public bug reported: I have seen that my xen machine reply to arp requests two times.
12:22:17.472843 arp who-has x.x.10.130 tell x.x.10.100 12:22:17.472910 arp reply x.x.10.130 is-at fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 12:22:17.472935 arp reply x.x.10.130 is-at 00:1d:7d:96:c6:3c The interfaces peth0 and veth0.0 are set to arp off. But xenbr0 was not set to arp off. It seems that "xend" is creating the bridge with arp on and the network-bridge (and xen-network-common.sh) script keep that bridge. # Usage: create_bridge bridge create_bridge () { local bridge=$1 # Don't create the bridge if it already exists. if [ ! -e "/sys/class/net/${bridge}/bridge" ]; then # <--------- is already created by xend brctl addbr ${bridge} brctl stp ${bridge} off brctl setfd ${bridge} 0 ip link set ${bridge} arp off ip link set ${bridge} multicast off fi I changed to script # Usage: create_bridge bridge create_bridge () { local bridge=$1 # Don't create the bridge if it already exists. if [ ! -e "/sys/class/net/${bridge}/bridge" ]; then brctl addbr ${bridge} fi # Change the settings of the already created interface brctl stp ${bridge} off brctl setfd ${bridge} 0 ip link set ${bridge} arp off ip link set ${bridge} multicast off I don't know if that is the solution but it works for me. Perhaps it is possible to store bridge settings to give xend information how xenbr0 should be configured. ** Affects: xen-3.1 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- arp reply from xenbr0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175547 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
