Dear list,
I just discovered the hard way that if the lower lever physical
interface of a macvlan bridge is disconnected (ie: by unplugging the eth
cable, resulting in no carrier), inter-guest network traffic from all
virtual machines bound to the disconnected interface is dropped.
This behavior surprises me, as with the classic bridges I can disconnect
the underlying physical interface without causing any harm to
inter-guest traffic.
Am I doing something wrong, or this really is the expected behavior? If
so, can I force the macvtap interfaces to bridge traffic even when the
underlying physical interface is disconnected?
Regards.
