Rich Is the sniffer on a port that sees all the switch traffic?
Does the sniffer see the traffic headed to the OSA from the real switch?

But a = sniffer placed between the OSA and its corresponding real switch shows no = messages coming out of the OSA. Everyone agrees the Linux routing and the = VSWITCH definition look correct. Anybody ever experience anything like that? What would you do to analyze = and/or resolve that?
