Bridge won't start because of bridge-ports issues

does is ipv6 routing works before reload ?
and is
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 enabled in sysctl.conf ?


what is the value of "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding" ?


(also, do you have the same problem with option "ip6-forward yes" ?)


I'll try to reproduce with ipv6 today or tomorrow.


It's a little bit hard to answer, it worked before and ipv6 forwarding is enabled:

Code:
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
1

From a VM it's stalled after the command has been started but on Proxmox itself it goes OK.

  • Ping works great from the VM to HV
  • Traceroute from VM to HV gives back * * *
  • Ping from HV to VM doesn't give reply
  • Traceroute from HV to VM is also a !H

I'm pretty sure it's not a firewall issue but I'm not sure what it can be otherwise, it started after the bridge issues/changes.
 
Hi,

Sure sorry for the delay but can you post yours ? I would like to test upfront, I might see some flaw.

Thanks!

Hi,
I only have prepared my ipv6 network currently (routers).
I would like to known if your proxmox host is the ipv6 gateway for your vms ? or if the gateway is an external router after proxmox host ?

My Proxmox host is the GW for my VM's indeed. It's a port routed subnet for the host, so that is why.
 
Hi, I encounter the same issue, host network interface lost settings after add another linux bridge, seems proxmox is using incorrect debian network interface options when modifing the /etc/network/interfaces files. Debain system seems only accept "_" but proxmox is using "-", for exampel, debian is using bridge_ports but proxmox is using "bridge-ports":

no, that's wrong, debian ifupdown support both "_" && "-"
 
Thanks, when changed networking, PVE notice need to reboot hostnode, however networking lost after reboot, I need to go to hardware console to restart network. This issue is not the first time happening.
