Last I looked into it (some years ago) VMware did not allow to manually set the adapter MAC address in the guest to addresses from some hardcoded ranges, among which the VMware OUI 00:50:56. According to [1] this is still the case today, they also specify the range there that can be used. > Now if I will stop tcpdump on terminal[2] I'll get packet loss again. > This is a weird behavior. What could be wrong? tcpdump by default puts the interface in promiscuous mode, which is why it picked up frames not addressed to the lladr you set, but also to 00:50:56:92:d1:18, which seems to be the MAC that VMware has assigned to the adapter. /m [1] https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.0/com.vmware.vsphere.troubleshooting.doc/GUID-7F723748-E7B8-48B9-A773-3822C514684B.html
