While this is an ironic-specific problem, I don't believe the fix here is in ironic.
Seems that Neutron and/or ML2 mechanisms need to set a proper route for this in the physical switch, but I'm not sure which layer that would be in. (I assume usually the agent on the host does it) ** Changed in: ironic Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
