[D] Unable to ping to external network from cloud stack system VM and virtual router [cloudstack]

GitHub user skatta33 created a discussion: Unable to ping to  external network from cloud stack system VM  and  virtual  router

Hi  ,

Good  afternoon to  everybody.

I have installed  our  Apache  cloud  stack  on redhat 9.7 servers  using  basic  network  setup  and  configured  cloudbr0  on  mgt  and  kvm  without  any  problem.I  was able  to  ping  8.8.8.8  and 192.168.1.1  from  both  mgt  and kvm  without  any  problem.

I  have  given  external dns  8.8.8.8  and  gateway  ip  was 192.168.1.1  and  netmask  was 255.255.255.0  for one  physical  network.

I was  able  to  ping  kvm  and mgt and  vm ips  and  0.0.0.0 from our  systemvms and  virtual  router without  any  problem  but it  was  not  pinging  8.8.8.8  or  192.168.1.1  from both  systemvms  and virtual  router and  instance  of  debian linux.

I  have  configured  cloudbr0  as traffic  lable for  guest,mgt,public  and  storage.

Please advice me.

Thank  you,

Prasanath,

Good evening.

Thanks  for  all  your  help.

Now,I  was pinging  to  external network  from vms  and  vr  without any  problem after  enabled  ipforward  to  1 on KVM.

I  have  a question  here  that  Why  I  was not  pinging to  default gateway  192.168.1.1  from  vms ?

Right  now  everything  was working fine except above  my query.

Thanks  for  all  your  help.

Srinivas

@skatta33 Glad to know that the issue is now fixed. 

>>I have a question here that Why I was not pinging to default gateway 192.168.1.1 from vms ?

The KVM host must forward packets between the VM bridge (cloudbr0) and the physical network; without IP forwarding enabled, traffic from guest/System VMs can reach the host but cannot be routed out to the gateway or internet.

@skatta33 can you clarify if you are noticing issues with all the VM's? or some of the guest VM's are working fine?

 Based on the description looks to be bridging issue.  Can you check if your KVM hosts have firewalld service running, if yes can you stop and disable it. firewalld  interferes with iptables rules created by cloudstack.

Also check if IP forwarding is enabled or not 
sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward
