Hey folks,
I'm having some trouble with the nic_bridge provided. When using the nic_drv as single instance, everything works fine.
But when I replace it with the nic_bridge, the requests don't seem to make it through. In qemu's TCP dump, I recognized a difference regarding the DHCP broadcast:
13:08:25.494579 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 5118, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 341) 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: [bad udp cksum 0x9134 -> 0xd233!] BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 02:02:02:02:02:02, length 313, xid 0x292e1940, Flags [Broadcast] (0x8000) Client-Ethernet-Address 02:02:02:02:02:02 Vendor-rfc1048 Extensions Magic Cookie 0x63825363 DHCP-Message Option 53, length 1: Discover MSZ Option 57, length 2: 1500 Vendor-Class Option 60, length 42: "dhcpcd-5.2.7:Linux-3.5.0:i686:NOVA microHV" Hostname Option 12, length 2: "vm" Parameter-Request Option 55, length 15: Subnet-Mask, Classless-Static-Route, Static-Route, Default-Gateway Domain-Name-Server, Hostname, Domain-Name, MTU BR, NTP, Lease-Time, Server-ID RN, RB, Option 119
The bad checksum irritated me. When I used the nic_drv session, it worked (checksum OK, qemu's DHCP responds correctly with an IP address). Could there be a problem with the bridge itself or is it definitely my problem? Do you have example setups using the bridge that work?
Best,
Markus
