[NETVIRT-736] DualStack: Two VMs in the same network unable to communicate due to NPE after disabling SG on some ports

Mon, 7 Aug 2017 05:09:15 +0000

Setup:
Create a router and a network with IPv4 and IPv6 subnets.
Associate both the subnets to the router.

Spawn two VMs on the network and try to ping/ping6 from VM1 to VM2.
ping/ping6 is not working and the following exception is seen in Karaf.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Looking at the OVS flows that are programmed on the switch, we could see that Table211 has only the drop rule and all packets (i.e., ping/ping6) are getting drop in this table.
