shouldn't xenbr0 be bound to eth0?

Robert,
I'll jump in here because I've had similar problems and, by explaining my reasoning, I will hopefully be corrected if I am wrong.

I believe that the answer is "NO".
Given the recent (on the Unix timeline) ability to rename devices, you should look at the overall dom-net architecture rather than the names.

peth0 is the (renamed) physical I/O device and it is bound to the virtual "hub" xenbr0. We also attach to that bridge one xen net device "vifX.0" where X is the domain number. The other end of that xen net device is called "eth0" in each of the respective domains.

dom0 is handled just like the various domU. An application sends a packet via "eth0". Xen causes that packet to appear on vif0.0 which is bound to xenbr0. Therefore the packet is replicated on peth0 and appears on the actual wire.

As I see it, the arp difficulty is a result of the fct that they have "moved" the real MAC address from peth0 to eth0. I think that the xen net device acts as a ppp cross-connect and does not pass arp since it doesn't need arp to establish routing since there is just one device on the other end of the (virtual) wire.

Are you using the default network script shipped with xen ?

What's the configuration of your network bridge ? What say brctl ?

Hello.
That didn't help.

I see the same arp broadcast storms as before.

Betreff: [Xen-users] SuSE 10 no network in dom0 - arp problem?


Hello.
I have installed the SuSE Linux 10 XEN kernel but no domU



yet. Now I



cannot ping to and from dom0. I get lots of ARP broadcasts



from dom0



but dom0 seems to ignore ARP answers. When pinging to dom0 it
ignores
arp requests. This happens regardless xend is running or not. This happens in the xen kernel only, when booting stock kernel all works
as expected.

What can I do?

Robert
