Jake, what network card are you using? Is it a broadcom chip by any chance?

Subject: Networking issues when vRouter is on different host 

Hi All, 

I'm running Cloudstack 4.2 on CentOS 6.4 with 2 KVM hosts using advanced 
networking. 

I have 3 networks on 2 physical NICs. 
eth0 - Management, Storage traffic 
eth0.900 - Guest Network VLAN 900 on the physical NIC, but a Guest VM vlan 
range of 600-699 handled by the CS vRouter. 
eth1 - Internet, public traffic 

I am able to deploy Guest VMs in the cluster containing the 2 KVM hosts. I can 
also ping the vRouter and other Guest VMs located on the other host of the 
cluster. Lastly, I can receive Guest IPs from the vRouter`s DHCP service no 
problem. 

My problem is, I am unable to connect to the internet and/or the internet is 
extremely slow (200bytes/sec) from a Guest VM that is located on a different 
host than the vRouter. Guest machines that are located on the same host of the 
vRouter work fine. 

Could this possibly be a MTU issue? As far as I know everything should be the 
default MTU 1500. 

Thank you very much!

Hi!

So i figured out that it was due to MTU settings.

In order for the guest traffic on host`s physical NIC eth0.900 to traverse the 
switch I had to reduce the MTU on the guest VM to 1496.
My guess is because the vlan tag 900 adds 4 bytes to the packets sent out the 
host`s NIC eth0.900. My switch is not configured for fragmentation so the 
packets where being dropped.
