IPv6 OK but not IPv4

Hello,

I just installed Proxmox (6.1-5) on top of a debian buster server (used as DHCP server, DNS server, WEB server, docker host, etc).
I managed to fix some issues (I really should read documentation carrefully) :
  • missing entry in /etc/hosts resulting in ssl certificate not being created
  • missing vmbr0
but I cannot find any documentation or thread related to this one.

When I start a VM, following interfaces are created on the host
Bash:
80: tap100i0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master fwbr100i0 state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether c6:9c:0e:15:ab:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
81: fwbr100i0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether aa:68:91:a4:c3:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
82: fwpr100p0@fwln100i0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master vmbr0 state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 56:b5:a5:f9:25:32 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
83: fwln100i0@fwpr100p0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master fwbr100i0 state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether aa:68:91:a4:c3:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

The interface on the VM is

As a result, I can ping using IPv6 but not IPv4

Fun fact, the host does not have IPv6, it can ping using IPv4 but not IPv6 :rolleyes:

Here is the vmbr if needed :
Bash:
67: vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 9a:b2:34:98:63:55 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.0.2/24 scope global vmbr0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::ae1f:6bff:fe00:2584/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

The VM is configured to use the VirtIO model, bridge vmbr0

Did I miss something?

Hi, thanks for the help.

I tried many things since (setting the vmbr on a different network, etc) but no luck.
Here are the information from the host and the VM.
I also added "brctl show" result.

Bash:
root@host:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

Hello,

Yes,
In splited screen, I ran "tcpdump -i enp0s20f0 -n icmp" and "tcpdump -i vmbr0 -n icmp"
When the ping run, I see packets on vmbr0 but none on enp0s20f0. (same when making a telnet)
Shouldn't packet be seen on enp0s20f0 as it is part of the vmbr0 bridge?
Did I miss something (adding a rule or something)?


Here is the result of qm config:

Hello,

Continuing to discover Proxmox, I have another network issue.

My vmbr0 is still bridged with the physical interface (192.168.0.2) and VM connected to this bridge can connect without issue. (network 192.168.0.0)
I added a new bridge vmbr1 (adress 192.168.1.1), disconnected from physical interface.

VM on network 192.168.1.0 get address using DHCP, can connect to the host IP (192.168.0.2) but cannot go further (cannot ping the gateway 192.168.0.254 nor VM on the 192.168.0.0 network)
Using tcpdump, I see packets on the first bridge (vmbr1) but not on the second one (vmbr0).
I expected packets to sent on the second bridge in order to be NATted, but looks like they are dropped :confused:

Same behaviour when I try from 192.168.0.0 network to ping VM on 192.168.1.0 network, packets arrive on vmbr0 but no one on vmbr1.

interfaces files:
Code:
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
        address  192.168.0.2
        netmask  24
        gateway  192.168.0.254
        bridge-ports enp0s20f0
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
        address  192.168.1.1
        netmask  24
        bridge-ports none
        bridge-stp off
        bridge-fd 0
