Howdy, I have been testing out Crossbow inside VMWare server 2.X, and have encountered a bizarre issue. When I try to ping the IP address assigned to a VNIC, the ICMP echo requests don't appear to reach the host. But as soon as I snoop the interface the vnics were created on, everything appears to work seamlessly. Has anyone seen this behavior before? My configuration is attached.
Thanks, - Ryan bash-3.2# uname -a SunOS nevada 5.11 snv_110 i86pc i386 i86pc bash-3.2# dladm show-vnic LINK OVER SPEED MACADDRESS MACADDRTYPE VID vnic1 switch0 0 2:8:20:7a:b8:c1 random 0 vnic2 switch0 0 2:8:20:d9:72:61 random 0 vnic3 e1000g0 1000 2:8:20:68:ae:1f random 0 bash-3.2# ifconfig -a lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 e1000g0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2 inet 192.168.1.32 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 0:c:29:87:7a:c6 vnic3: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3 inet 192.168.1.29 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 2:8:20:68:ae:1f lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252 index 1 inet6 ::1/128
