Thanks for the response, I have tried both with and without steps 9 and 10 to no avail. There is also no core dump generated. Interestingly, however, there are some dropped packets on the interface but they seem to be occurring in a burst when the interface is started but not incrementing throughout the uptime of the interface. Tcpdump is executed in most basic mode without filters:
#tcpdump -vv -i vEth0 Nothing is coming in and as far as I can tell nothing is going out.
