next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Box is running 8.0-RELEASE-p2 cvsupped two days ago.
NICs are em bonded with lagg failover and running a few vlan interfaces.
net.my_fibnum: 0
net.add_addr_allfibs: 1
net.fibs: 4
This is reproducible, but with the lack of (accessible?) documentation on
multiple routing tables, I don't know if this is intended behaviour or a bug.
It seems processes using a non-default fib cannot perform arp lookups
unless the fib 0 has a routing table entry for the attached network:
[root@host ~]# ifconfig vlan11 a.a.a.92/27
[root@host ~]# route delete -net a.a.a.64/27
delete net a.a.a.64
[root@host ~]# setfib 1 ping a.a.a.65
PING a.a.a.65 (a.a.a.65): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Invalid argument
^C
--- a.a.a.65 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
[root@host ~]# dmesg |tail -1
arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for a.a.a.65
Putting the entry into the arp cache before removing the route results in
success:
[root@host ~]# ifconfig vlan11 a.a.a.92/27
[root@host ~]# setfib 1 ping a.a.a.65
PING a.a.a.65 (a.a.a.65): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from a.a.a.65: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=1.437 ms
^C
--- a.a.a.65 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.437/1.437/1.437/0.000 ms
[root@host ~]# route delete -net a.a.a.64/27
delete net a.a.a.64
[root@host ~]# setfib 1 ping a.a.a.65
PING a.a.a.65 (a.a.a.65): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from a.a.a.65: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.762 ms
^C
--- a.a.a.65 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.762/0.762/0.762/0.000 ms
and deleting it again results in failure:
[root@host ~]# arp -an
? (a.a.a.92) at 00:11:27:00:d7:c4 on vlan11 permanent [vlan]
? (a.a.a.65) at 00:1a:e4:00:60:bf on vlan11 [vlan]
...
[root@host ~]# arp -d a.a.a.65
delete: cannot locate a.a.a.65
[root@host ~]# setfib 1 arp -d a.a.a.65
a.a.a.65 (a.a.a.65) deleted
[root@host ~]# setfib 1 ping -c1 a.a.a.65
PING a.a.a.65 (a.a.a.65): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Invalid argument
^C
--- a.a.a.65 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
This behaviour seems a little inconsistent, with fib 1 requesting arp
lookups, fib 0 performing and displaying them, but fib 1 needing to delete
them...
