Re: Problems with bridge(4) and vlan(4)

[Martti Kuparinen <martti.kuparinen%iki.fi@localhost>]

I was too fast to say "everything is okay". Now some of the domUs have
stopped responding to ping and it seems like ARP is not working
correctly. Here's my setup:

wm1 --> vlan1208 --> bridge1208 <-- xvif8.1

wm1         no address, running several VLANs in tagged mode
vlanNNNN    no address, one for each VLAN (NNNN=VLAN id)
bridgeNNNN  no address, one for each VLAN, connected to the
            corresponding vlanNNNN and xvifM.N
xennetN     These have the addresses I'm trying to reach


I started to ping from xxx.xxx.xxx.209 and at the same time I ran
tcpdump on xvif8.1, vlan1208 and xennet1.

I can see ARP coming all the way to the domU's xennet1 but domU (this
is running NetBSD 3.0_BETA) does not respond to ARP queries. Any
ideas why?
