[openstack-dev] [neutron] Neutron Port MAC Address Uniqueness

Hi,

My (original) question regarding the uniqueness of Neutron port MAC addresses didn't concern SR-IOV support or vendor NICs. It was simply about the behavior w.r.t. virtual networks. I believe Armando has confirmed what I had been suspecting.

Thanks,
Anil

That was my feeling Moshe, thanks for checking.

Anil, which card and drivers are you using exactly?

You should probably contact your card vendor and check if they have a fix for the issue, which seems more like a bug on their implementation of the embedded switch, the card or the driver.

Best regards,
Miguel  Ángel.
