I am trying to use a bridge interface in the 1.5 nightly (circinus) and every time I put an IP address on the bridge interface and attach an ethernet interface to bridge I lose connectivity. Running vyos from a live CD with the same configuration so I know it’s something to do with VMWare Workstation Pro on Windows. I also tried on ESXi and I am having the same problem.
generally in WMware , when you need to allow host in VM doing bridge or mac learning, WMware requires allow in the configuration on vswitch , Try to disable those options :
enable promiscuous mode:
I works with ESXI , I’m not sure where you can find those options on Workstation.
Thank you, I will give it a try on ESXi. I wasn’t able to find those settings in VM Workstation.
