I am setting up multiple UML machines to simulate multiple machines communicating through a router using "http://read.cs.ucla.edu/click/" . So, I need separate virtual interfaces for each UML so that the router can see several machines. Actually, I figured out the problem of why my second UML machine is not able to talk to the world. It sends arp request for which there is no response. When the first UML machines runnning on tap2 asks for arp requests: [root@host machine]# tcpdump -i tap2 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on tap2, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 01:30:06.156300 arp who-has 192.168.1.3 tell 192.168.1.157 01:30:06.159457 arp reply 192.168.1.3 is-at 7e:6c:d7:2b:4b:c2 (oui Unknown) But, there is no reply when UML 2 asks : [root@host machine]# tcpdump -i tap3 tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on tap3, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 01:30:47.696259 arp who-has 192.168.1.2 tell 192.168.1.221 01:30:48.687073 arp who-has 192.168.1.2 tell 192.168.1.221 01:30:49.687283 arp who-has 192.168.1.2 tell 192.168.1.221 01:30:50.699133 arp who-has 192.168.1.2 tell 192.168.1.221 01:30:51.699274 arp who-has 192.168.1.2 tell 192.168.1.221 Is there any reason why this should happen ? The commands that I used for setting up tap2 and tap3 are : tunctl -t tap2 ifconfig tap2 192.168.1.2 up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tap2/proxy_arp iptables -I FORWARD -o tap2 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -i tap2 -j ACCEPT tunctl -t tap3 ifconfig tap3 192.168.1.3 up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tap3/proxy_arp iptables -I FORWARD -o tap3 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -i tap3 -j ACCEPT route add -host 192.168.1.2 dev tap2 route add -host 192.168.1.3 dev tap3 arp -Ds 192.168.1.2 eth0 pub arp -Ds 192.168.1.3 eth0 pub echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE echo 512 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh1 echo 1024 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh2 echo 2048 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh3 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp Any help is very much appreciated -Leo On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 1:57 AM, Rahul Gauba <rah...@ya...> wrote: > Hi!, > > I think you can still work with a single tap device and keep it simple. > I generally run 4-5 UML on a single host and all of them are reachable from > other machines on the LAN.
