We didn't face the problem yet but we have the same configuration with multiple interface on the same medium. But we locked dhcp on one interface during the installation with a /etc/ethers file. Maybe the problem appear when all interface are running a dhclient. The pxe's initrd is also configure to launch dhcp on a specific interface via : IP=eth0:dhcp,other:none option in pxelinux.cfg/default. Can you try theses configuration ? Changing the arp_filter can alter certain check done during the installation (loop detection and other stuff) and we have to verify every involvement. So I would like to find an acceptable workaround for you before going with the arp_filter solution. |
Having multiple NICs in the same segment that are going to be bonded is a common scenario in modern datacenters. The kernel should not respond to arp requests for ip addresses that are not for the specific NIC it arrives on. This patch prevents dhclient from dropping its ip address while renewing its dhcp lease. Closes redhat-cip#237
