Hi, I'm seeing something which seems unusual when using the VSR ritual router,
When I have an interface in route mode and create a sub-interface - I see normal behaviour in that the MAC address used for packets leaving the interface is the MAC address assigned from the VMWare vNIC,
Expected behaviour config:
interface GigabitEthernet2/0
port link-mode route
interface GigabitEthernet2/0.2082
ip address 10.24.0.4 255.255.255.254
vlan-type dot1q vid 2082
If I have the interface in bridge mode and than add a tagged vlan to the interface, the mac address used seems to be a global system level mac address rather than the interface mac address:
Strange behaviour config:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0
port link-mode bridge
port link-type trunk
undo port trunk permit vlan 1
port trunk permit vlan 2081
The MAC address used for packets leaving the 1/0 interface can be seen using this command (there may be other ways to find this address)
dis lacp system-id
Actor System ID: 0x8000, cc3e-5f81-fa15
If I add a second interface in bridge mode - it also uses the same MAC adderess.
I'm tring to use a bridge / vlan so that I can control the VLAN using Openflow/SDN, I can't find a way to control a sub interface using SDN.
Does anyone know if,
A - This is expected behaviour?
B - Is there any way to change this behaviour?
Thanks
