Hi Folks,
As of part of a college, i was trying out having OVS bridge inside an Ubuntu VM and adding a port on the bridge. This port is connected to eth1 of the VM.
eth1 has MAC address generated by hypervisor. And hence i'm seeing traffic coming to eth1.
But i see that the port's mac address is not generated by hypervisor and hence i don't see any traffic reaching to that port.
On enabling promiscuos mode, i see traffic reaching to the port. So port-group only allows those traffic associated to that VMs mac address (given by vmware)?
Is there a way i can avoid promiscuous mode? May be give a MAC address by somehow reserving with hypervisor? Any thoughts?
Thanks !
