Re: DHCP lease not accepted when libvirt_use_virtio_for_bridges=true

 

Well phooey:

 987     if network_ref['multi_host']:
 988         _add_dhcp_mangle_rule(dev)

The mangle rule is only added my nova-network in multihost mode.

Can you verify whether or not adding the rule on the compute or network node fixes it?

That way we can either remove the check on multi_host or add it in plug_vif on the
compute host.

BTW:

> iptables -D POSTROUTING -t mangle -p udp --dport 68 -j CHECKSUM --checksum-fill


that should be -A not -D

I'm guessing the issue is confined to the compute node, and since I'm not running multihost, I don't think I even need to restart nova-network each time I make a virtio-related change on the compute node...
