[Xen-users] vif0.0: received packet with own address as source address

Hi all,

Has anyone seen this before? I''m running a CentOS 5.3 with xen 3.0 and
the
server has been running fine for a long time. In fact, it was up for 186
days before I had to reboot after the "network died", and I
couldn''t fix it.


The server has multiple domU''s on it, which all still works when the
host
node (dom0)''s network dies with these errors.

I have to run /etc/init.d/network restart for it to work again. How can I
permanently fix the problem?

Might be related to this
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=339

Usually my workaround is to use two NICs :
- one for dom0 management, with IP address on dom0
- one is trunk, with bridges created over vlans for domU traffic, no
IP address on dom0

On few hosts where I had to use the standard xen bridge, I changed
/etc/xen/network-bridge with the one from the above bug report.

Fajar
