Laine, Though I can't remember the particulars, I have a vague memory of the sysctl settings in that article indeed solving the problem of traffic not being forwarded on the bridge when I had configured no filtering on the guest - hence my attempt to share what worked for me. Perhaps it would be good to update that page. I looked around for a link to create an account on the libvirt wiki but could find none. I'm happy to go do some more research around the items you mentioned and add a quick note to that page to keep from leading people astray in the future, if I could get an account on the wiki. Do you know how I would do that? Thanks, Tom On Mon, Feb 14, 2022 at 8:12 AM Laine Stump <laine@redhat.com> wrote:

Can you post the output of iptables -L?
By default, the bridge module in the kernel sends packets traversing the bridge to iptables (in the FORWARD chain I believe) for processing. So if you have configured a DENY policy on the FORWARD chain, or are otherwise filtering in the forward chain, you'll be affecting packets traversing the bridge. Check out this page for details on how to change this behavior: https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Net.bridge.bridge-nf-call_and_sysctl.conf <https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Net.bridge.bridge-nf-call_and_sysctl.conf
That information is *very* out of date; the situation has changed quite a lot since that was written in 2014.
Filtering of packets traversing a bridge device are now only filtered if the br_netfilter module is loaded, which isn't done by default. It *is* autoloaded if certain types of iptables rules are added(I can't remember the details of the type of rule though - there was a bug in iptables a year or so ago where autoload of br_netfilter was triggered by libvirt attempting to *remove* a rule of whatever type it was).
Anyway, unless "lsmod | grep br_netfilter" shows that you have br_netfilter loaded, this entire path is a red herring (if you do have it loaded, unload it, and try to figure out why it was loaded).
(Interestingly, this is the 2nd time this particular outdated page has come up in the last week. Has something else broken somewhere that's causing people to search out this page?)

I have been struggling with this for weeks and I was unable to find
an
answer on line. Perhaps someone here can help me.
Oracle linux 8 running virtualization:
hardware node has a public IP address on interface bridge0 and
physical
eno1 is a member of the bridge0
a virtual OS has interface bridged to lan and source is bridge0, Ip address of virtual OS is also a public from same class as the hardware node.
I can route in and out of virtual, I can ping from hardware node to virtual and vice versa, so the routing works as it should, sort of.
When I try tracepath or traceroute from outside to virtual I get !H
on
last hup
same result when I try to do the same form hardware node to virtual I get !H
Also, when I telnet (TCP) to a specific port on virtual where I have
a
daemon LISTENING OR NOT I get: No route to host. Same experiment
works
just fine for ssh port.
Firewalld is not running, and I just have very basic iptables rules like allowing external address block to ssh to hardware node and to
virtual
dropping connections from all other sources
This issue presented it self when I attempted to setup a galera node
on
virtual and ports 4567 is responding but 4568 and 4444 are not, but
the
daemons are running and I can clearly see lsoft showing "LISTENING"
I capture the traffic and the tcp as well as udp are getting to the virtual. Is there a preconfigured netfiltering that I am not aware
of?
What am I missing?
