Re: Instances and ARP

 

Hi Joe,
nova network filtering rules are preventing ip-spoofing.
There is a proposal to modify this behavior when using HA in instances. 
See thread: 
[openstack-dev] VM level HA. Changes in firewall.py question.

You can check with:
virsh nwfilter-dumpxml nova-base

cheers,
Belmiro

Doing a tcpdump on the compute node's bridged network and the instance's eth0 I can arp requests and responses fine for its main IP, but when I try to get to the alias address, I see arp requests only on the compute side. On the instance side I see it responding, but this doesn't show up on the bridged interface on the compute node.
