I have got some strange problem with vmx on vmware.
First double check if all our vswitch are in promiscuous mode.
Check also if you use vxnet or e1000 type of interface, I've got erratic problems with vxnet, and gave up with it. Check the mac address mapping, and finaly check if you have proper license installed ;) (I've spend one hour to find why one of my test vmx does not anymore, before I found that the license have expired...)

Hello,

I haven't had any replies in the Juniper VMX forum so I thought I'd try
here:

I have setup 2 VMX (each with a VCP & VPFE) on one ESXi host using Junos
VMX 15.1F4. Each VMX seems to be working fine on it's own. I can remotely
access the fxp0 interface.

I created a dedicated vswitch with promiscuous mode on for the GE
interface. I used this vswitch for the 3rd NIC on each VPFE. I did not
attach any physical NICs to the vswitch as I only want to use it for
VMX-VMX traffic. Each VMX sees all 8 GE with ge-0/0/0 being up. I configure:

user@LabVMX1> show configuration interfaces ge-0/0/0
description "Link to VMX2 ge-0/0/0";
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.5.5.0/31;
}
}

user@LabVMX2> show configuration interfaces ge-0/0/0
description "Link to VMX1 ge-0/0/0";
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.5.5.1/31;
}
}

I also added OSPF to each interface. VMX1 seems to work fine. It shows
in/out traffic. VMX2 only shows outbound traffic.

Using "monitor traffic interface ge-0/0/0" command I see:

VMX1:

14:56:57.489954 In IP 10.5.5.1 > 224.0.0.5: OSPFv2, Hello, length 56
14:57:02.079691 Out IP truncated-ip - 20 bytes missing! 10.5.5.0 > 224.0.0.5:
OSPFv2, Hello, length 60

VMX2:
14:57:48.925035 Out IP truncated-ip - 16 bytes missing! 10.5.5.1 > 224.0.0.5:
OSPFv2, Hello, length 56

14:57:58.487367 Out IP truncated-ip - 16 bytes missing! 10.5.5.1 > 224.0.0.5:
OSPFv2, Hello, length 56

VMX1 arp cache:

00:0c:29:a7:e9:09 10.5.5.1 ge-0/0/0.0 none

VMX2 arp cache is empty.

I never see any inbound packets on VMX2. I've tied ping same result. I
through this might be a broadcast/multicast problem so I tried configuring
static arp entries and then did a ping but this didn't help.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Serge
