However, if you do not enable the Promiscuous mode, the packets are not transmitted to the VMAC address of the NetScaler VPX. Therefore, if you enable the Promiscuous mode on the virtual switch port, the NetScaler VPX instance receives the traffic, regardless of the MAC address. When you use a VMAC address, the virtual switch receives traffic destined to the VMAC address and not the MAC address of the device. However, the Hypervisor or the virtual switch is not aware of the modified MAC address.īy default, the network adapter only receives frames that are meant for it or broadcast addresses. When you configure a VMAC address on a NetScaler VPX instance, the Media Access Control (MAC) address on the VPX Network Interface Controller (NIC) is modified. If the Promiscuous mode is not enabled, it is not possible to access the virtual IP, Mapped IP, and Subnet IP addresses of a NetScaler VPX appliance.
You use a virtual switch to connect a NetScaler VPX appliance to the LAN. I'm wondering whether the problem is that Parallels was using a different MAC address at the moment the network admins have activated a port security or ARP spoofing protection, meaning that the port you are connecting the MBP to is now linked to the MAC the Parallels installation is using. You can configure a virtual switch on the VMware ESXi appliance.
To configure the VMAC addresses, enable the Promiscuous mode on the virtual switch. Q: Does a NetScaler VPX appliance hosted on VMWare EsXi support Virtual Media Access Control (VMAC) address configuration?Ī: Yes, a NetScaler VPX appliance hosted on a VMWare ESXi, supports VMAC configuration.
