Hi folks,
I would like to run a bridge for kvm on a bonding interface
(4 * 1Gbit, Intel e1000e). Problem: The DHCPDISCOVER packets
sent by the guest show up on my dhcp server as expected, but
the DHCPOFFER sent as a reply doesn't reach the guest behind
the bridge.
Using tcpdump on host and guest I can see the DHCPOFFER on
the bond0 and br0 interface, but it never shows up on vnet0
or on the guest's eth0.
If I drop the bonding interface and use the host's eth2 for
the bridge instead, then there is no such problem.
Kernel on host and guest is 2.6.31.5. Below you can find more
information about my setup. I had sent this information to the
linux kvm mailing list before, but consensus was that this is
a bridging problem. See
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg25153.html
Would it be possible to track this problem down? Any helpful
comment would be highly appreciated.
Many thanx
Harri
