perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

Andrew,

I’m currently running perfsonar nodes with two  interfaces in the same subnet.  Are the following sysctl settings activated in your kernel?

net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore=1

net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce=2

net.ipv4.conf.default.arp_filter=1

net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter=1

Can you ping out from both interfaces on your host?

ping [-I interface or address] destination

Subject: [perfsonar-user] Dual NIC's on Same Subnet

Hello,

 

I would like to setup a perfSonar node to have two interfaces on the same subnet (1 for throughput and 1 for latency). I checked on the perfSonar website and found the below link that says it is possible but it only went over how to configure two interfaces on separate networks. Currently, when I have both interfaces up and on the same subnet only 1 interface will respond to pings. If I shutdown the working interface, the non-working interface will start responding. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
