Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
Description: Ubuntu 10.4.2
Release: 10.04
When setting a KVM host with a bond0 interface made of eth0 and eth1 and using this bond0 interface for a bridge to KVM VMs, the ARP tables do not get updated correctly and
Reproducible: 100%, with any of the load balancing mode
How to reproduce the problem
- Prerequisites:
1 One KVM system with 10.04.02 server, configured as a virtual host is needed. The following /etc/network/interfaces was used for the test :
# grep -v ^# /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
post-up ifconfig $IFACE up
pre-down ifconfig $IFACE down
bond-slaves none
bond_mode balance-rr
bond-downdelay 250
bond-updelay 120
auto eth0
allow-bond0 eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
bond-master bond0
auto eth1
allow-bond0 eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
bond-master bond0
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
bridge-ports bond0
bridge-stp off
bridge-fd 9
bridge-hello 2
bridge-maxage 12
bridge_max_wait 0
One VM running Maverick 10.10 server, standard installation, using the
following /etc/network/interfaces file :
grep -v ^# /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.153.107.92
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.153.107.0
broadcast 10.153.107.255

tcpdump traces are available for those tests. Test system is available
upon request.
Workaround:
Use the bonded device in "active-backup" mode
