I’m using a VNF associated with a VF on a Mellanox CX6 LX and for some reason I can’t get VRRP to work.
I’ve found on intel adapters there is a flag you have to set to off which is vf-source-pruning
wondering if something similar exists for MLX.
Hi! We have same problem and looks like no way to fix it
WinOF-2 supports two levels of spoof protection:
- Hypervisor sets VF’s MAC address and only packets with that MAC can be transmitted by the VF
- Hypervisor can control allowed Ethertypes that the VF can transmit
If a VF attempts to transmit packets with undesired source MAC or Ethertype, the packets will be dropped by an internal e-Switch.
The Source MAC protection cannot be disabled
Our developers applied a kernel patch and fixed the issue. I’m unclear on why a kernel fix would affect this behavior as you describe, but it’s working now. If I actually get details I will share.
