[Openstack] OpenVSwitch inside Instance no ARP passthrough

Mathias,

Just to clarify: Which interface in which VM are you pinging from, and
which interface in which VM are you pinging to?

Also, if i recall correctly, in Mitaka, besides disabling port security,
you had to disable ARP spoofing prevention for a scenario like this to work.

In ml2_conf.ini:

[AGENT]

prevent_arp_spoofing = False


I would also sincerely recommend though that you update your dev
environment to use the latest version of Openstack (Pike).

Greetings,

Benjamin
