&gt; 
&gt; This is my last test on openvswitch : 
&gt; 
&gt; Well I have : 
&gt; - A vswitch with a physical port on eth4 
&gt; - An internal interface vi1 with tag =3D 3702 
&gt; 
&gt; - A physical server with an interface eth0.3702 
&gt; - H3C configured to &quot;permit&quot; traffic trhoug 
&gt; 
&gt; Conclusion : 
&gt; =A0 OpenVswitch send the packet trough eth4 with a=A0 tag 3702.=A0 (AR=
P Request) 
&gt; =A0 The pysical receive the packet=A0 and respond (ARP Reply) 
&gt; =A0 The packet arrive to the eth4 interface of openvswitch (so the H3C=
 do the 
&gt; job no ?)=A0 BUT without vlan tag (no tag view=A0 by tcpdump ... vlan =
offload ? 
&gt; other ?) 
 
</div>This is due to vlan acceleration issues. =A0Unfortunately, the be2net=
 
driver included with Linux 2.6.32 has known problems with vlans and 
Open vSwitch (and tcpdump). =A0I thought that bnx2x should work but I 
don&#39;t know about the exact version included with RHEL 6.1.
