[ovs-discuss] Not able to capture the packet through tcpdump

[sree ietf]

Hi,

This is my topology :

S1 and S2 are openvswitches.

Link { h1-eth1  <--------> s1-eth1 } connected to S1 Switch.
Link { s1-trunk <--------> s2-trunk } connected in between S1 and S2.
Link { s2-eth1  <--------> h3-eth1 } connected to S2 Switch.

Switch S1 has  s1-eth1 and s1-trunk.
Switch S2 has  s2-eth1 and s2-trunk.


h1-eth1: 192.168.10.1/24
h3-eth1: 192.168.10.4/24

1.  I'm trying to ping from h1-eth1 to h3-eth1
2.  I'm running tcpdump on h3-eth1, though ping is successful, i don't see
any
     ping/icmp packets at h3-eth1
3.  But when I ping an another ip-address in the same subnet which is not
     configured, such as 192.168.10.222/24,  I can able to see ARP requests
in
     tcpdump at h3-eth1.

     Why I am not able to see any packets in tcpdump when ping is success?

     please shed some light.
