Hi all

 

Any one knows the internal mechanism for broadcast messages on venet0? Virtuozzo Networking - venet0 Mode

 

When I try ping -b 192.168.1.255 inside the ve,I got know response.TCPdump outside VE on the host showed something on venet0,but nothing on eth0.When I do the samething outside VE,at least tcpdump will show the ping request message on eth0s.

 

It seems that venet0 dropped the broadcast messages?

 

I also tried 

 

Ifconfig venet0 broadcast 192.168.1.255,but the system do not allow me to do this?

 

My template is ubuntu804,and host openvz kernel is ovz004. I found some threads talking about venet0:0,someone said it’s a bug,other said it’s designed like this for Debian based templates.Is just an alias,righ?Any clarification?

 

Anyone has some idea to get the broadcast message get through?

 

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

 

 

Best Regards
