--- Comment #4 from Marius Tomaschewski
Indeed strange, Didn't cone as far as testing xen-part, because of this situation (and the pile of other systems i had to upgrade on patch-day, our last friday of the month). Probably a combination of things at my end, as something this seriously would have been detected by many others before....
When bridges are in use (and they are in xen case), the most common problem are the default bridge settings with STP enabled - the bridge blocks any traffic up to ~50 secs until it detected that there is no topology loop. Please make sure, that all /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br* files (exactly, all containing BRIDGE=yes) contain also either following settings: BRIDGE_STP='off' # brctl default 'on' BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY='0' # brctl default '15' or (total "delay" of ~12 sec): BRIDGE_STP='on' BRIDGE_MAXAGE='4' BRIDGE_HELLOTIME='1' BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY='4' And: don't use STARTMODE="ifplugd" with bridges.
Will be back at work tomorrow to get any config files (Can not login onto DoD network online ;-)
Yes, i tried pinging with address (obviously, while network is down, no name resolving could be done....)
OK.
Test were done on HP's DL320-g2 and DL360-G4 The noisy type of servers that don't have wifi OK
I thought i mention it because of the intel-saga ;-)
