Tagged VLAN traffic is not received by the BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE).
Host-side tagging is required.
Mellanox CX4 or CX5 with SR-IOV on VMware ESXi.
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.
