Hello everyone,
I'm just tinkering with ESXi in my homelab and noticed the following issue:
- the vNIC in the Voice portgroup can't pass traffic to the switch
- in the ESXi Web Console it looks like vSwitch is recognizing the wrong MAC address for the second NIC attached to VLAN 10.
The switches (Cisco 2960G) are configured for VLAN trunking and in general VLANs work pretty well in my lab setting. The only issue ist the ESXi: the vNIC attached to the portgroup "Voice" with VLAN 10 does not seem to be able to pass traffic through the physical NIC to the switch (as mentioned above).
On the left side there's the output of the linux "ip addr sh" command. On the right side there's the vSwitch overwiew. Please note the MAC addresses are different in the linux VM but are the same in the vSwitch overview. Is this a possible bug or just a feature...?
I'm grateful for any hints to point me in the right direction...
Cheers,
Joerg
