[OpenIndiana-discuss] etherstub and bridge

[Anil Jangity]

I tried to setup a etherstub and a vnic. I then tried to setup a bridge between that and the physical interface, as follows:

LINK        CLASS     MTU    STATE    BRIDGE     OVER
igb0        phys      1500   up       zbridge    --
igb1        phys      1500   up       --         --
workswitch0 etherstub 1500   unknown  zbridge    --
work0       vnic      1500   unknown  --         workswitch0
zbridge0    bridge    1500   up       --         workswitch0 igb0


The work0 vnic was assigned to the non-global zone. However, once inside the zone, I am not able to hit the default router. I end up with unanswered ARP requests.
If I do the same thing but instead of using etherstub, if I assign work0 to igb0, it works fine.

I came across this:

Is that issue still present?
Is there an open bug against illumos/OI for this?

Thanks,
Anil
