OMG!!!
So let me first give an analogy.
Me;
So I have a flat tire.
You;
No, its inflated and looks fine.
Me;
No, I'm tellin ya its flat.
You;
I just checked tire pressure, all is well.
Me;
Holy sh$#, the road it jacked up giving e the illusion of a flat!
So I am able to ping my br6 int from another host so I assumed it was up. But upon examining ip route, I see my def route is my primary interface br0 so it answered back even though I ping br6.
I walk over to the KVM host and eth6 is physically unplugged!
Its in now and all is well.
Dude, so sorry.
Now, to fix it so a ping will result in accuracy.
