http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=919573 Bug ID: 919573 Summary: wicked doesnt setup bonding interface with arp link monitoring Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: Thomas.Paumann@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Starting a bonding interface with arp link monitoring results in an error message. The configuration works on openSuSE 13.1 (without wicked). /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bondTunnel: BONDING_MASTER='yes' BONDING_MODULE_OPTS='mode=balance-rr arp_interval=1000 arp_ip_target=x.x.x.x,y.y.y.y' BONDING_SLAVE0='tap1' BONDING_SLAVE1='tap2' BOOTPROTO='none' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='' MTU='' NAME='' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' USERCONTROL='no' # wicked ifup bondTunnel wicked: ifcfg-bondTunnel: bonding validation: arp validate is valid in active-backup mode only wicked: br1: <device> element references unknown device bondTunnel wicked: ifup: no matching interfaces # journalctl -u wicked: ... Feb 25 21:11:58 hostname wicked[755]: ifcfg-bondTunnel: bonding validation: arp validate is valid in active-backup mode only ... by replacing BONDING_MODULE_OPTS with BONDING_MODULE_OPTS='mode=balance-rr miimon=100' everything works fine. The problem is, that miimon doesnt work on a tap interface because it always has a carrier if the attached VPN tries to connect. Even if there is no connections established (yet). Setting arp_validate=none doesnt help. wicked-Versions i tried: 0.6.15-8.1-x86_64 0.6.17-1.1-x86_64 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
