Hello all,

I'm having an ARP issue to my VMs on a MacOS X Lion host.  The VirtualBox 
version is 4.2.6r82870.  The VMs are FreeBSD.

In my networking lab, I have this setup:

SRX100 firewall ---- EX2200-C switch ---- Host ---- VMs

I'm trying to do BGP from the cluster to the VMs, but the current step is just 
ping.  I have assigned IP addresses to all devices temporarily to facilitate 
testing, the ultimate goal is L2 across to the VMs.  

The problem appears to be ARP replies not reaching the VM.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd definitely appreciate it!

Thanks!

Aaron




IP addresses are:

Firewall:               172.32.2.40/24
EX:                     172.32.2.30/24
Mini:           172.32.2.1/24
VM:                     172.32.2.50/24

The VM can ping the Mac, the Mac can ping everything, the switch and firewall 
can ping everything except the VM.  I do get ARP replies (and shows the MAC 
addresses are not shared with the host) on the firewall, but not on the VM (VM 
only receives ARP entries for the Mac).  The Mac receives ARP entries for all 
other devices (as expected).  The ethernet-switching table on the switch 
contains all devices:

The NIC in question from "VBoxManage showvminfo":
NIC 3:           MAC: 080027F2BC5E, Attachment: Bridged Interface 'vlan1', 
Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82540EM, Reported speed: 0 
Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: allow-all, Bandwidth group: none

In the Mac settings, I have it configured as a trunked interface (virtual 
interface - VLAN) where it is configured (IPv4) manually with the IP address 
and no router:

vlan1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=23<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,TSO4>
        ether 3c:07:54:56:8c:61 
        inet6 fe80::3e07:54ff:fe56:8c61%vlan1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9 
        inet 172.32.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.32.2.255
        vlan: 501 parent interface: en0
        media: autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control>)
        status: active

And IPv4 forwarding is enabled:

% sysctl -a | grep forward
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding: 1
