Description:
Bug ID 1117609: VLAN guest tagging is not implemented for CX4 and CX5 on ESXi ... Last Modified: May 03, 2024 ... Impact ... Host-side tagging is required. ... Conditions ... Workaround ... If only one VLAN is required, use host-side tagging and set the VLAN to "untagged" in the BIG-IP guest. ... If multiple VLANs are required, use the "sock" driver instead. ... Edit the /config/tmm_init.tcl file and restart the Virtual Edition (VE) instance. ... Network traffic is disrupted while the system restarts. ... echo "device driver vendor_dev 15b3:1016 sock" >> /config/tmm_init.tcl CPU utilization may increase as a result of switching to the sock driver.
