[ovs-discuss] Support for non-promiscuous mode on uplink NICs ?

[Walter Niklaus]

Hi,

the Network Adapters on my System don't support promiscuous mode:  they 
will discard all incoming packets containing unknown MAC-addresses.
These Network Adapters require a "registration" of MAC-addresses in their 
fdb for the incoming traffic they should forward to the OS.

I'm planning to use KVM as Hypervisor on my system and would be happy to 
use Open vSwitch as switching technology for my guests.
Can you please help me understand if  Open vSwitch  has the capability of 
registering the  Guest MAC Addresses on the configured Host uplink NICs ?

Thanks, 
Walter.
