My bhyve VMs have been all fine until now. I can't ping them and can't SSH into them. However, I can connect to them with VNCViewer from a remote host (my PC from my house) :-( I haven't done any changes on the host at all. dnsmasq is running, but seems like the VMs aren't getting the IPs for some reason. ``` cloned_interfaces="bridge0 tap0 tap1 tap2 tap3 tap4 tap5" ifconfig_bridge0_name="vmbridge" ifconfig_vmbridge="addm em1 addm tap0 addm tap1 addm tap2 addm tap3 addm tap4 addm tap5 up" ifconfig_vmbridge_alias0="inet 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ``` What might have happened? root@gw:/home/wash # ifconfig vmbridge vmbridge: flags=1008843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=0 ether 58:9c:fc:10:df:1d inet 172.16.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.0.255 id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 2000 timeout 1200 root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0 member: tap5 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 10 priority 128 path cost 2000000 member: tap4 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 9 priority 128 path cost 2000000 member: tap3 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 8 priority 128 path cost 2000000 member: tap2 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 7 priority 128 path cost 2000000 member: tap1 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 6 priority 128 path cost 2000000 member: tap0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 5 priority 128 path cost 2000000 member: em1 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 2 priority 128 path cost 55 groups: bridge nd6 options=9<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED> root@gw:/home/wash # ssh 172.16.0.99 ssh: connect to host 172.16.0.99 port 22: Permission denied root@gw:/home/wash # ssh 172.16.0.100 ssh: connect to host 172.16.0.100 port 22: Permission denied root@gw:/home/wash # ping 172.16.0.100 PING 172.16.0.100 (172.16.0.100): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Permission denied ping: sendto: Permission denied ping: sendto: Permission denied ping: sendto: Permission denied ^C --- 172.16.0.100 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss root@gw:/home/wash # ping 172.16.0.99 PING 172.16.0.99 (172.16.0.99): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Permission denied ping: sendto: Permission denied ping: sendto: Permission denied ^C --- 172.16.0.99 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss root@gw:/home/wash # service dnsmasq status dnsmasq is running as pid 4190. root@gw:/home/wash # -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.
