[Openstack] [qa] How to troubleshoot why a VM at Compute node won't response to ARP request from Neutron router

Hi,

Using devstack to deploy OpenStack, I have Controller + Network running at one physical node and Compute at a separate node.

I launched a VM at the Compute node with a private address 10.0.0.2 (Neutron router interface is 10.0.0.1).

At the Controller node, in the qrouter namespace, I could not ping the VM private address 10.0.0.2.

At the Compute node, tcpdump of the tap interface indicated ARP requests were received.

However, it did not show any ARP response.

My understanding is that the VM’s virtual interface is directly connected to this tap interface.  Since the VM is unreachable, I cannot
launch its console to see if the ARP requests are received at the virtual interface.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
