Trunk link to physical switch

Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Trunk link to physical switch

Post by pinkraisons » Mon Oct 21, 2019 1:51 am

I am having difficulties connecting a physical switch to EVE-ng with a trunk port in VM Workstation. I found a couple tutorials using ESXi but none for Workstation. I have verified that my NIC supports dot1q trunking. Below are a few things that I have tried:
- Turning on/off 'Priority and VLAn' in the network device advanced settings.
- Adding ethernet0.noPromisc = "FALSE" to the .vmx file
- Creating the vlans on my network card using the 'Realtek - Ethernet Diagnostic Utility'
- If I install Debian in Workstation I can create the subinterfaces/vlans and can connect to the physical switch no problem

Thanks in advance

in the windows you must enable promiscue mode on NIC manually.
in reg file

Check this mate

I did that personally and trunk from VM Ware workstation worked great to real SW
I confirm it.

Thank you for the help. I swapped out the Realtek NIC for an old Intel one I had laying around and that fixed the problem.
