Because it's a switched network. Unicast packets between VM1 and VM2 won't ordinarily be sent to other ports. That would just waste CPU time and network bandwidth. > 2. when I am using following command to make bridge as trunk for other > vlans then also above ping is successful > ovs-vsctl set port br0 trunks=3,4 > ovs-vsctl set port eth0 trunks=3,4 Ports br0 and eth0 aren't involved at all in traffic between ports vnet0 and vnet1. > Please send response, I am not able to figure out why it is not working.
