Hello,
I tried to setup a bridge in a (debian-based) virtual machine using esx
server. I added two nics on my vm connected then in two different networks and
used the bridge utility (brctl) to bridge them. I gave the bridge an ip address
so that it would be visible from the network.
I can access both networks from that vm, and machines on both networks can
access the vm.
BUT PACKETS from net1 do not reach net2 and vise-versa.
I have no ip/ebtable rules and /proc/sys/net/bridge/* files are set to zero.
As a last check, I used tcpdump to dump packets comming from e.g. the net1 to
the attached nic (eth0) and they seem to reach only if eth0 is not part of the
bridge.
PLEASE ADVISE.
Thanks
Elias Chatzigeorgiou

Remember that you need to put the ports on the vmware switch into promiscuous mode. --joubert On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 5:50 PM, Elias Chatzigeorgiou <echatzigeorgiou at youtravel.com> wrote:> Hello, > I tried to setup a bridge in a (debian-based) virtual machine using esx > server.
