Hi David, I copy and pasted the configs onto my device, but pings on test-vrf do not work in my setup. I'm essentially seeing the same issue as I reported before.
In this case, pings sent out on test-vrf (host ns) are received and replied to by the loopback interface (foo ns). Although the replies are seen at the test-vrf level, they are not locally delivered to the ping application. Logs are as follows... a) pings on test-vrf or br0 fail. # ping -I test-vrf 172.16.2.2 -c1 -w1 PING 172.16.2.2 (172.16.2.2): 56 data bytes --- 172.16.2.2 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss b) tcpdump in the foo namespace, shows icmp echos/replies on veth2 # ip netns exec foo tcpdump -i veth2 icmp -c 2 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on veth2, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes 18:34:13.205210 IP 172.16.1.1 > 172.16.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 19513, seq 0, length 64 18:34:13.205253 IP 172.16.2.2 > 172.16.1.1: ICMP echo reply, id 19513, seq 0, length 64 2 packets captured 2 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel c) tcpdump in the host namespace, shows icmp echos/replies on test-vrf, br0 and veth1: # tcpdump -i test-vrf icmp -c 2 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on test-vrf, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes 18:34:13.204061 IP 172.16.1.1 > 172.16.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 19513, seq 0, length 64 18:34:13.205278 IP 172.16.2.2 > 172.16.1.1: ICMP echo reply, id 19513, seq 0, length 64 2 packets captured 2 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel Thanks, Nelson On 7/23/18, 3:00 PM, "David Ahern" <d...@cumulusnetworks.com> wrote: On 7/20/18 1:03 PM, D'Souza, Nelson wrote: > Setup is as follows: > > ethUSB(ingress port) -> mgmtbr0 (bridge) -> mgmtvrf (vrf) | netns foo [ test-vrf ] | | | [ br0 ] 172.16.1.1 | | | [ veth1 ] ============|======= [ veth2 ] lo | 172.16.1.2 172.16.2.2 | Copy and paste the following into your environment: ip netns add foo ip li add veth1 type veth peer name veth2 ip li set veth2 netns foo ip -netns foo li set lo up ip -netns foo li set veth2 up ip -netns foo addr add 172.16.1.2/24 dev veth2 ip li add test-vrf type vrf table 123 ip li set test-vrf up ip ro add vrf test-vrf unreachable default ip li add br0 type bridge ip li set veth1 master br0 ip li set veth1 up ip li set br0 up ip addr add dev br0 172.16.1.1/24 ip li set br0 master test-vrf ip -netns foo addr add 172.16.2.2/32 dev lo ip ro add vrf test-vrf 172.16.2.2/32 via 172.16.1.2 Does ping work? # ping -I test-vrf 172.16.2.2 ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than test-vrf.
