Hi All,
I started a thread yesterday at serverfault, without much luck so far http://serverfault.com/questions/510361 … ly-one-nic
So the problem is that I have a bridged interface configured (br0) which bridges two physical interfaces (eth1/eth2) - bridging works as expected and packets traverse through the bridge properly. My problem comes from a static IP address configured on the bridge:
br0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1488
inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 broadcast 10.255.255.255
ether 00:24:9b:04:3b:a7 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet)
RX packets 3623 bytes 332062 (324.2 KiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 1494 bytes 154380 (150.7 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
Now the problem is that depending on which interface was added last into the bridge, I see arp requests coming FROM the bridge box on only one of them. Lets say I do:
#brctl addif br0 eth1
#brctl addif br0 eth2
and then ping 10.0.1.101 - I will see arp requests coming on br0 and eth2, but not on eth1 - obviously that is an issue - since I would expect bridge IP to be seen equally from both eth1 and eth2 sides - am I missing something? Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
