Fully access to NIC [message #4863]

Hello,

we try to use ARP-Watch and similar tools in a VPS, but currently it doesn't work.
Is there any possibility to grant those tools fully access to an interface?
I've read about moving the interface into the VPS, but then you'll lose direct access from host...

Our host system is a CentOS with Kernel 2.6.16-026test015.2-smp
the guest systems are CentOS or Debian.

Hope you could help us, thanks TSchilli

Thanks for that pages.
I used the HOWTO to install such an VETH-device, but it doesn't work. The VPS have the MAC-Address given by the command, ping and everything works correct.
But the command arp still gives no reply, the arp-tabel seems to be empty or not readable.

Here my networkconfigs, hope somebody could find the mistake?

TSchilli, put IP address from 192.168.0.0/24 subnet on veth102.0 on VE0 and try again.

With an address from 192.168.0./24 the guest is unreachable, I gave him an address from 134.101.16.0/20, our current netmask.
I'm able to ping the guest, or ping out of it. But arp still doesn't work.

Here the config again:

Host
============
veth102.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:43:E3:F4:EE
inet addr:134.101.21.87 Bcast:134.101.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:6 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:384 (384.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
============

Guest
=============
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:43:E3:F4:EF
inet addr:192.168.0.101 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255
inet6 addr: fe80::211:43ff:fee3:f4ef/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:384 (384.0 b)
=============

Sorry, hopefully it helps....thanks

P.S.: Is it ok, that eth0 from guest has an 192.168.0./24 address while there is a different netmask at host?

it should be reachable with ip from that subnet if you have propper routing table. Look at wiki again, make sure you have everything in place.

I've checked all the settings, now I'm able to use the eth0-device in the VPS. Everything works fine. Tcpdump and arp seems to work correctly.

The arp-table isn't empty anymore, but any any host has the mac address from our host system. Is that normal behavior, or something wrong with my configuration?

Thanks so far, TSchilli

Yeap, it's normal. All packets are routed from the host to the VE, so cirtainly arp can see only ARP-addres of the host.

Is it possible to change this?
Some workarounds or something like that?

We want to use arpwatch in a VPS, seems a little bit stupid when we only get a single mac address for all the clients! Wink

I see only one way: move network device to VE (--netdev_add).
But after that HOST system doesn't have this device.

There is another way to solve this problem.
You can create bridge in host system and add eth0 device and veth102.0 to it.
(See http://wiki.openvz.org/Virtual_Ethernet_device#Virtual_ether net_devices_can_be_joined_in_one_bridge for details).
Do not forget to assign IP from eth0 host-system device to bridge device and reconfigure route table accordingly.
After that packets from outer network will be passed to VPS without routing in VE0, so you will see destination MAC-addresses in arp-table inside VPS.
