Re: [Xen-users] eth0 on dom0 not working on a bridged conf

You are right Anna(except that my external machine is 172.30.1.11):
arp tables in dom0 has not binding for the external machine (172.30.1.11) while it has for domU (172.30.1.81).

But my external machine 'can see' the arp packets sent from dom0 and is replying to them. So arp-request packets are going out the bridge, but arp-response packets seems not to be going back from the bridge xenbr0. I'm not sure about this.

Thank you both.

NOTES:
Dustin: the other set up I have with xen 3.0 has the same brctl configuration. I suppose it is the 3.0 conf as Anna said. I have not setup an interface for 'default router' 172.30.1.1 at my router, but I think this should not interfere.

No I think that is correct because Javier is using an old Xen version (3.0.3). 
What does your ARP table on Dom0 show? Does it have a binding for 172.30.1.81 
(your external machine)? It looks as if your ARP requests from Dom0 do not 
reach the network, and so the ping request does not go out.

I think eth0 should be included under interfaces here:

bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
xenbr0          8000.feffffffffff       no              vif0.0
                                                        peth0
                                                        vif3.0

The appropriate brctl command will add it to the bridge (not at a Linux
machine to get you that command).  This is because peth0 is the
physical
connection to the network and eth0 is where your address is assigned.
This
is the normal setup for older versions of xen, except eth0 should have
been
automatically added to the bridge during startup.  On newer versions,
xenbr0
is deprecated and eth0 is the bridge (which has the address assigned to
itself).

Subject: [Xen-users] eth0 on dom0 not working on a bridged conf

Hi,

  I've installed xen 3.0.3 from packages (xen-linux-system) on a debian
etch, and i've configured it with network-bridge script in the default
way (netdev=eth0, bridge=xenbr0, etc...) which is ok for me.

the problem I have:

  I cannot ping any outer machine from dom0 (nor any outer machine can
ping me). It gives me a "Destination Host Unreachable" message that
makes me think there is no arp response.

other symptoms:

  I can ping from dom0 any domU's I create...
    ... and from those domU's I can ping dom0 and also the outer
machines that I was unable to ping from dom0. => so, xenbr0 if working
properly with peth0, vifX.0 (and eth0 on domU's)

  Configuration looks fine in comparation with other xen 3.0 machines I
have working. Here is a "/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge status":

============================================================

eth0
============================================================


  If I manually "/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge stop",  eth0 begins
working correctly with the exterior (I can ping, ssh, outer machines
and
viceversa).

  dmesg, xend.log and xen-debug.log looks fine for me, but I may missed
up something .

  I've installed tshark to test the communications when network-bridge
is up, but my knowledge is not enough to understand what's happening.
I'll send the output of whatever you ask me.

Thanks if anyone can help. I am lost after trying almost my best.
