Hi, Network between VMs connected to openvswitch and VMs connected with SR-IOV interfaces (VFs) on the same host seems not to work, due to some special arp handling in the ixgbevf driver where arp traffic is not forwarded to the physical interface. If the NIC does not know about the ovs connected VMs MAC address, which it apparently can't because the VM is hiding behind a (openvswitch) bridge, the arp traffic seems to be black holed.
I found this https://communities.intel.com/thread/43504 which suggests that the problem can be solved by manually adding the VMs mac address to the PF in the forwarding database. I can't find any way to try this with openvswitch - somebody know about a solution to this or have any ideas? Thanks (I'm using intel X520 NICs) Regards Kristoffer
