Hello 

 

We have a problem with ARP pakets on a bridge mode virtual machine they run on an ESXi 8.0U2 host. 

The ARP reply where  not send always over the bridge. After research I've found the article from Broadcom. 

https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?legacyId=95979

We have non NSX-T but I think it is our problem. 

When I tray to disable die VMDQ Loopback then I become  from the ESXi

"It is not possible in this version by the network adapter" 

It is an Dell XR4520 node as server. The installed networkcards are "Ethernet Controller E810-C for SFP"

I found the article by Dell knowlage base 

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/de-de/000223462/intel-e810-c-adapter-schaltet-vmdq-loopback-via-intnetcli-failed-aus

There is described than Intel know this problem and bring a new driver at Sep 24.

Is a new driver exist? 

Where can I download this driver? 

Is a beta driver exist, they can I tray in our development system? 

 

Many thans for answer

Good morning 

 

It's a long time ago I ask the question. 

At the moment wie don't have the problem anymore. 

We have change the driver version to Intel icen 1.14.2.. 

At the time we have check, there where a newer driver available on the Broadcom website. 

the newer driver was not compalible whit the Intel net cli tool. 

The tool version was 1.13.2. 

 

We use now 

- ESXi 8.0U3 

- Driver version icen1.14.2

- Net cli version 1.13.2

 

This combination work  fine 

 

Kind regards
