Subject: [Bridge] Linux-bridge, uml, and harware-hub
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2004 23:06:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <403A796E.7000708@guerrier.com> (raw)

Hello,

I use bridge to give user-mode-linux boxs an Internet access

When the uml-host is connected to the gateway via a cross-wired cable,
everything works fine.

If I put a hub (I've also make tests with another hub and a switch) between
the host and the gateway, uml-guests no more see the gateway (and therefore
no more see the Internet)

In both case the uml-host can ping the gateway and the uml-guests, the
gateway can always ping the uml-host, and the uml-guests can always
ping the uml-host:

* direct cross wired cable between umlhost and gateway:

[umlhost:br2:192.168.1.2/24] -------- [gateway:eth4:192.168.1.1/24]
            |
            |
[uml1:eth0:192.168.1.3/24]

umlhost# ping 192.168.1.1 is OK
umlhost# ping 192.168.1.3 is OK
uml1# ping 192.168.1.1 is OK


* a hub (or a switch) between umlhost and gateway

[umlhost:br2:192.168.1.2/24] --[hub]-- [gateway:eth4:192.168.1.1/24]
            |
            |
[uml1:eth0:192.168.1.3/24]

umlhost# ping 192.168.1.1 is OK
umlhost# ping 192.168.1.3 is OK
uml1# ping 192.168.1.1 no response
gateway# ping 192.168.1.3 no response


I've noticed that dmesg gives me lot of lines like theses:
eth2: received packet with  own address as source address
eth2: received packet with  own address as source address
...

I first think about a MAC adress sort of conflict, so I take care of
assigning specifics ones to the uml-guests, but no changes.


What did I miss ?


Thanks,
Olivier.

PS: my current configuration look like this:

host kernel is a 2.4.22 (with almost all security patchs, skas3, and
cryptoloop) SMP enabled on a dual PIII/400
(cannot try latest 2.4 kernel now, it's planned)
