Bug#416659: forcedeth doesnot work in combination with vlan and brigde
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-amd64
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-11
For a xen installation on a sun fire 4200m2 I tried to bridge a vlan on
eth0 (forcedeth-driver) with a vifx.x of one of the domUs. The network
of the domU does not work at all.
I use the following custom script (peth0 is the renamed eth0)
# vlan 1103
if ! `lsmod | grep -q 8021q` ; then modprobe 8021q ; fi
vconfig add peth0 1103
brctl addbr xenbr103
brctl stp xenbr103 off
brctl setfd xenbr103 0
ip link set xenbr103 arp off
ip link set xenbr103 multicast off
ip link set peth0.1103 up
brctl addif xenbr103 peth0.1103
ip link set xenbr103 up
the xen script add the vif interface when I start the domU.
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr0 8000.feffffffffff no vif0.0
peth2
xenbr103 8000.feffffffffff no peth0.1103
vif2.0
if I look at the macs I cannot see the router
# brctl showmacs xenbr103
port no mac addr is local? ageing timer
2 00:16:3e:25:05:bc no 24.74
1 fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff yes 0.00
On eth2 (an interface with e1000 driver) the same configuration works. A
bridge without a vlan works and a vlan without bridge works too.
I am using:
