vmx and esxi vst mode vlan tagging

[Marko Cupać]

Hi,

I have just spent half an hour bashing my head against the wall why my
FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE i386 machine with kernel-included vmx driver and
emulators/open-vm-tools installed won't ping machines on the other vlan
on the same vSwitch. It DOES ping other virtual machines on the same
vSwitch and same vlan (freebsd servers), and it DOES ping physical
machines in other vlans. It DOES NOT ping virtual machines on the same
vSwitch and different vlan (windows servers).

To cut the long story short, it appears that the problem is on FreeBSD
side, as another machine (FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-p14 amd 64) with vmx3f0
driver and VMWare's vmware-tools installed pings everything as it
should.

Could it be that FreeBSD's vmx driver does not support all the
functions of vmware's vmx3f driver?

Regards,
