[Xen-users] Xen domains not replying to arp requests

Hi List,

I am running FC4-2.6.11-1.1369_Xen0 as my Dom-0 and
FC4-2.6.11-1.1369XenU as my domains and Xen shipped with Fedora

this is how the picture is :
[root@Aarya ~]# xm list
Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU  State  Time(s)  Console
Cluster-1          3      255        1      -b---     43.1        9603
Cluster-2          4      255        1      -b---     41.5        9604
Domain-0        0       256        0      r----    155.4        

now my Domain-0 has two network cards , i am intending to setup a
virtual private network in this way 

                Dom-0 eth0(172.25.243.133/27)----connected to outside
world( bcast 172.25.243.159)
                          /|\
                           | (echo 1>> /proc/sys/net/ipv4_forward ) 
                Dom-0 eth1(10.10.1.1/24)(bcast 10.10.1.255) 
                            |\
                            |  \
                            |    \
                            |     Cluster-2 eth0(10.10.1.3/24) ,bcast
10.10.1.255 , 
                            |        
                      Cluster-1 eth0(10.10.1.2/24) ,bcast 10.10.1.255

ping from Cluster-1 to Cluster-2 to vice versa is working , but i am not
able to ping from the Dom-0 eth1 to Cluster-1/Cluster-2 or  the other
way,..
tcpdump output says the xen domains are not able to give arp replies for
requests as you can see below . for example 
      
[root@Cluster-1 ~]# ping 10.10.1.1                ( hangs forever , 100%
packet lost on interrupting)
PING 10.10.1.1 (10.10.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

[root@Aarya ~]# tcpdump -i eth1 |grep ''10.10.1.2''
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol
decode
listening on eth2, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
12:57:06.682653 arp who-has 10.10.1.2 tell 10.10.1.1
12:57:08.682647 arp who-has 10.10.1.2 tell 10.10.1.1
12:57:09.682647 arp who-has 10.10.1.2 tell 10.10.1.1
12:57:10.682648 arp who-has 10.10.1.2 tell 10.10.1.1
12:57:12.682647 arp who-has 10.10.1.2 tell 10.10.1.1
12:57:13.682648 arp who-has 10.10.1.2 tell 10.10.1.1
12:57:14.682659 arp who-has 10.10.1.2 tell 10.10.1.1

My Dom-0 ifconfig output is like this

Hi Digz,

It seems that your vif''s are attached to the wrong bridge.
What''s the
output of:

# brctl show

in dom0?

Since I don''t see any xen-br1 in your setup I assume they''re
attached to
xen-br0, which is not what you want.

For the sake of simplicity you can just switch eth0 and eth1 in Dom0,
ie:

eth0 -> 10.10.1.1
eth1 -> 172.25.243.133

Then your vif''s would attach to eth0 (in fact to xen-br0) without
touching the scripts.

Otherwise you would have to change the scripts to create xen-br1 and
attach eth1 and your vif''s to it.

[]s,
Braulio Gergull
