    Hi Siva,

    One more request  - I need to see the underlying network
    configuration
    of the hypervisor running the two VMs.
    Are both VMs on the same machine?  If so then just the network
    configuration of the base machine
    running the VMs, otherwise the network configuration of each base
    machine running their perspective
    VM.

    This is turning into quite the investigation and I apologize that
    it is
    taking so long.  Please bear with me
    if you can and we'll see if we can't get this problem solved. 
    I've seen
    some puzzling bugs before and
    this one is turning out to be one of the best.  Or worst....
    depends on
    your outlook.  :)

    Thanks for all your help so far!

Hi Greg,

Both the VMs run on same hypervisor in my setup. Created VMs and virtual networks using virsh commands. Virsh XMLs for networks look like below

[user@hyp1 ] virsh net-dumpxml route1
<network connections='2'>
  <name>route1</name>
<uuid>2c935aaf-ebde-5b76-a903-4fccb115ff75</uuid>
  <forward mode='route'/>
  <bridge name='testbr1' stp='on' delay='0'/>
  <mac address='42:54:00:84:4e:04'/>
  <ip address='20.20.0.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
    <dhcp>
      <range start='20.20.0.2' end='20.20.0.254'/>
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

[user@hyp1 ]  network virsh net-dumpxml route2
<network connections='2'>
  <name>route2</name>
<uuid>2c935baf-ebde-5b76-a903-4fccb115ff75</uuid>
  <forward mode='route'/>
  <bridge name='testbr2' stp='on' delay='0'/>
  <mac address='42:54:10:84:4e:04'/>
  <ip address='30.30.0.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
    <dhcp>
      <range start='30.30.0.2' end='30.30.0.254'/>
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

Each VM is connected to both the networks.

Some network configuration of the hypervisor.

I am not completely sure what you meant by network configuration. Kindly let me know if you are looking for something more specific.

There is one strange behavior that I observed on the VMs. I am able to ping across networks if I use IP address but it does not work if I use interface name directly.

I don't the reason behind this and I will need to understand this when I get some time. Just letting you know if it might make any difference in your setup.

Siva Teja.

Siva,

Thanks for that information - it will help.  I'll have to spend some time analyzing it, this is a complex setup.

As for the ping - that is to be expected.  The IP address belongs to the system so any IP address on the system can be pinged.  That's why I mentioned adding the '-I' option to specify the interface, that way you force the ping through a specific interface and that will help understand the routing setup on a machine.

Thanks,

- Greg
