Multicast packets are being received on all VFs of a Fortville PF

Hi Team,

We have attached Fortville NIC to the VM we created on Compute Node (Openstack env) and we have created 2VFs on a Fortville PF. As part of our testing, we have configured VF1 with a vlan and OSPF and VF2 with other vlan without any OSPF on it. 

As we have configured OSPF on VF1, the multicast packets are getting received on VF1 along with the VF1 vlan. This behavior is fine and expected but we could see VF2 is also receiving multicast packets along with VF1 vlan. Also, we have seen the same behavior when there is no vlan configured on VF2 as well

Is this expected behavior in case of Fortville NIC (Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+) ?

We have already raised ticket for the above issue. Please find the below thread for more info

Thanks & Regards,

Please provide us the following information for us to investigate the issue;


1. When you say you design a system, meaning you did you build the board?

2. If you are using a pre-built system, kindly provide the brand and model of your system.

3. You mentioned that you are using a PCIe Ethernet Controller X710, please provide photos of the card on both sides for us to check if the card is not an OEM unit.

4. Kindly provide the brand and model of the module and cables used with the network card.

Hello GownivallaSusmitha,


Thank you for responding and for providing us the information that we have asked. 


As per checking on your SSU log, we found out that you are using a Dell System. We'd like to set your expectation that for Original Equipment Manufacturer(OEM) Ethernet controller for X710 since this is the one that you are needing assistance with. We have limited support and it would be best if you can also get in touch with the manufacturer for further support since they have customized drivers, firmware and software to enable or alter features on your card. 


They are in best position where you can seek assistance so you don’t lose features or customizations of the Ethernet controller. But don't worry as we will still provide our best effort support to help you resolve the issue. 


Please allow us some time to have this check. Is it okay if we can ask between 2-3 business days to provide you an update. Once we have all the information that we need we will notify you immediately. If you have a preferred date please advise us instead. Thank you and have a nice day!

Hello GownivallaSusmitha,
