      While deploying new VM I'm setting such params over XAPI

      vif-locking-mode=locked

      ipv4-allowed=x.x.x.x

    Description

      I faced with problem of rogue DHCP server, that gives to VMs wrong IP addresses.

      I found only one solution for XenServer to prevent rogue DHCP server.

      It is DVS Controller.

       

      I deployed DVS Controller from Xenserver 7.5 and set policy to block rogue DHCP server.

      Now it is all OK with DHCP, but now I can not set vif-locking-mode=locked because of error

      "You attempted an operation that was not allowed.
      reason: A vswitch controller is active"

      At same time I can set any other "vif-locking-mode" type (unlocked,disabled,networ-default), but not "locked".....

      So, the question is how to set vif-locking-mode=locked to prevent IP spoofing while DVS Controller is active?!

      I cannot find any infomation about this situation at oficial docs.

       

      Thank you,

      Sergey
