[nox-dev] Running NOX on VmWare
I have created two virtual machines in VmWare server. I have configured one machine as NOX controller and one as open switch. I added the routes and I'm able to ping each other. But when I start the NOX and the open switch the ARP messages are getting flooded on the machine. I have configured unique MAC address for each of the machines. My configuration is like this on VmWare server Virtual Machine 1 : Nox Controller eth0 192.170.35.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 Virtual Machine 2: Open Switch 1 eth0 192.170.40.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 Why the ARP messages flooding? Is my configuration right? Thanks, Candy ___ nox-dev mailing list nox-dev@noxrepo.org http://noxrepo.org/mailman/listinfo/nox-dev
Re: [nox-dev] Running NOX on VmWare
I don't think we have enough information to answer your question. Which ARP messages are you talking about? What machine are they coming from and what are they asking for? And what's your purpose here? Are you going to add more VMs and connect them to virtual ports on VM2? (As you've described it, you seem to have a switch that isn't switching anything.) -- Murphy On Sep 14, 2011, at 11:01 AM, Candy Floss wrote: > I have created two virtual machines in VmWare server.

Re: [nox-dev] Running NOX on VmWare
The messages are coming from the virtual machine. The network is getting flooded and the machine goes down so I'm not able to capture what messages are getting generated. My purpose is to configure NOX and test it. For that I have configured one Virtual machine as NOX and the other as open switch in the VmWare server. I do not have a physical switch, I have configured one virtual machine as a Switch. I will be adding more VMs but first I want to establish a connection between switch and NOX.

Re: [nox-dev] Running NOX on VmWare
I think this is a problem with your VM setup and not really with NOX, so I'm taking this conversation off-list. -- Murphy On Sep 19, 2011, at 2:00 PM, Candy Floss wrote: > The messages are coming from the virtual machine.
