Dears,

Let me ask a very simple question here.

I just need to know that, what is the "Vmware LAN Segment" equivalent in centos?

I am new to the linux, please provide the configuration file as well.


Please refer the below post for more details.

HUH? Are you asking how you configure your NIC('s)?

Hi,

I have created a bridge to connect two VM's interfaces.

Whatever traffic sending from VM1 should be delivered to VM2.

no real NIC configuration required. I have tried ovs as well without any success.

Please refer the below post for more information about the issue.

What hypervisor & management are you using?

Hi Timothy,

I am using KVM. I have configured two routers in two VM's.

Now the issue is that unicast and broadcast frames are working fine. (those frames are passing through the bridge to VM'x)

However, the multicast frames are not passing between VM's. I suspecting that the bridge interfaces consider those traffic as "TO" traffic. I want bridge to should as hub interface. Whatever traffic is sending from VM1 just deliver to VM2. Even if I do a collision on VM1 interface it should detect on VM2 interface. That means bridge/hub interface just pass the traffic in other words all the traffic should "THROUGH" traffic.

"TO" Destine to host
"THROUGH" Just pass the traffic to other interfaces.

Due to this issue, I am not able to operate my VM's properly and from my side, the only solution is that I have to fallback my LAB's to the vmware.

I'm not that good with KVM unless you happen to be running Prism on top of it (nutanix management console), but that's what you need to configure. Has absolutely nothing to do with centos (other than happens to be the OS that's running).

the nutanix management console will use IP and will not mirror the "LACP Multicast frame" traffic from vm1 interface to vm2 interface
