I'm using LACP on 2 Intel NIC's # dladm show-phys LINK MEDIA STATE SPEED DUPLEX DEVICE e1000g1 Ethernet up 1000 full e1000g1 e1000g0 Ethernet up 1000 full e1000g0 # dladm show-aggr LINK POLICY ADDRPOLICY LACPACTIVITY LACPTIMER FLAGS aggr1 L4 auto active short ----- On top of that I'm using VLAN's (vnic's with vlan option) to do security separation between network segments. # dladm show-vnic LINK OVER SPEED MACADDRESS MACADDRTYPE VID xvm3_0 aggr1 1000 0:16:36:72:ff:cf fixed 11 xvm4_0 aggr1 1000 0:16:36:72:ff:d1 fixed 11 wifi0 aggr1 1000 2:8:20:49:a6:9e random 20 wan0 aggr1 1000 2:8:20:cc:43:e1 random 99 public0 aggr1 1000 2:8:20:a5:39:fa random 100 server0 aggr1 1000 2:8:20:16:ae:a2 random 11 xvm27_0 aggr1 1000 0:16:36:72:ff:df fixed 11 As I recall I was unable to get network traffic running for HVM guests (Windows, FreeBSD, Debian) when using the vlan option for vif-vnic. Using tcpdump in the domU I verified that the domU was receiving traffic and sending traffic (arp requests and responses) but I never saw them in dom0. Creating a static arp on the domU for another host on the same vlan enabled me to ping that host with a RTT of 0.000ms. Anyway I finally gave up and started using etherstub's and routing on dom0 instead. Not optimal but at least it works. BTW It works perfectly for debian-lenny pv domU's. Hopefully it will work for FreeBSD's XEN port when/if that ever happens.... -- Bjørn Connolly Mostly RFC3514 compliant. _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
