GRE controller question

[Sebastien Goasguen <ru...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a setup with CS4.0.1 in my laptop and two XS 6.1 (the hosts come up, storage are setup) via virtual box.

Each XS has two nics, one that gives connection to the internet (outbound only), and tagged public-net as a xen traffic label, the other setup as a host-only network and tagged private-net as a xen traffic label. I can ssh to the hosts, I can ping internet from the hosts, I can ping the gateways of the two networks.

When I create the zone, I want to use GRE isolation for the traffic between VMs.

What isolation shall I use for the public and mgt network ? Can I set as VLAN but then use an untagged network ?

Finally, the systemVMs come up, I can ssh into them but I can't ping the gateways.

The only thing I can do is ping the SSVM from my laptop using the "public" network IP.

Any thoughts ?

-Sebastien

Only the guest network uses GRE.
Others are VLAN.
I don't think you can use untagged for public but should be OK for
management.
