[one-users] Isolated VMs on different Hosts can't communicate - ONE 4.8, OVS 2.0.1

[Hüning, Christian]

Thanks! That was the solution. Everything works fine now!

If everything else is working as you mentioned before, I would think that
you would only need to set those ports to trunk and allow all vlans to pass
through. After that, I would imagine you’d be able to separate VMs on the
same VLAN over multiple hosts, and ping between them.

 

That should be all you need to do at this point.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have verified that all of these ports are set to “untagged”. So this is
essentially wrong as I see ;-)

Do I need to configure anything else on my hypervisor interfaces  or is it
just the switch I need to touch?

 

Thanks!

Your colleague is probably correct. 

 

Have you verified that each of the ports on your physical switch, which the
hypervisors are plugged into, have those port settings, set to trunk and
allow/forward all VLANs?

Hi there,

 

I have a cluster of 5 hosts running with openNebula 4.8 and just recently
configured OpenvSwitch on all these nodes.

Networking is working just fine. This holds also true for VLAN isolation,
but just as long as the VMs belonging to the isolated Virtual Network reside
on the same physical host. When I move these VMs to different hosts, they
can’t communicate with each other anymore. Non-isolated nodes can
communicate to everywhere without problems.

 

Is that intentional? I chose OpenVswitch because the ONE docs say it
requires no support from the switch hardware (or more specifically it says
802.1Q would require support).

 

A colleague suggested it might have to do with the switch not forwarding the
tagged packets from Open vSwitch. Can that be the cause? Does OVS even tag
the packets?

 

Here’s my environment:

OpenNebula 4.8

Open vSwitch 2.0.1

Cisco Switch

Host OS: Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (latest patches)

 

Output from ‘ovs-vsctl show’:

  Bridge "br0"

        Port "vnet3"

            Interface "vnet3"

        Port "bond0"

            Interface "bond0"

        Port "vnet1"

            Interface "vnet1"

        Port "vnet2"

            Interface "vnet2"

        Port "vnet5"

            Interface "vnet5"

        Port "br0"

            Interface "br0"

                type: internal

        Port "vnet0"

            Interface "vnet0"

        Port "vnet4"

            Interface "vnet4"

    ovs_version: "2.0.1"

 

Where “br0” is my ovs bridge interface which has the external ‘real’ IP
address configured and “bond0” is a link aggregated dual Gbit interface
which is the port for “br0”

 

I would greatly appreciate some suggestions or ideas on this, since I am a
bit lost.

Cheers,

Christian
