Re: [Xen-users] Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron bridged networking xen connectivity loss



Yeah you a right.  If I take off the ip address from peth0 everything works:
mpower@dodtsair:~$ sudo ifconfig peth0 0.0.0.0

What is worse is that the network-bridge script uses the default route to determine if the bridge was created then it fails to tear down everything it built. Thus

mpower@dodtsair:~$ sudo /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge stop

Does not work.

I checked the 3.3 version of the script and it fails as well. Same problem. I have not been able to figure out why the script fails to properly configure the interfaces. I am lost right now in a lot of sed and regex expressions.

difference, but I don't remember whether it resolved or intensified the
problem.
        Regarding how you're getting rid of the bridge to make it work, I
think you should actually be getting rid  of the ipaddr on peth0, my bridge
and peth0 have the same hwaddr, and my bridge has the IP.  You may have to
use the route command to remove the extra routes afterwards too (or they may
go away on their own).  This will probably make it work, but would be
necessary again after reboots.

connectivity loss

Last problem I had involved changing one character in my configuration scripts. Really easy once someone showed me what was wrong.

Well I think this issue is just the same. The moment I used apt to install the Xen kernal and tools I lost internet connectivity. I have been managing because I can restore connectivity be deleting the bridge

mpower@dodtsair:~$ sudo ifdown eth0
mpower@dodtsair:~$ sudo brctl delbr eth0


But that means any domUs will not have connectivity. I have not had any till now so it wasn't much of an issues. But thanks to your help now I have XP running.

Ultimately I would really like you to show me the documentation that tells me how to fix this. I am pretty sure it exists but my googling has not been effective in this area.

Some things that seem dubious to me are the fact that eth0(the bridge) looks like an exact clone of peth0 from ifconfig. I would have expected them to have different HWaddr and at the very least different inet addr. Another dubious thing is the routing table, double routes one for each interface. Shouldn't that confuse the heck out of the OS? Lastly I have no clue why the next line is in the routing table:
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth0

Here is that status of my system on boot with networking broken:

I'll try the following before I send.

ifconfig eth0 mtu 1496

That didn't work.
