Hey Guys,
It seems there is an issue with the igb drivers not being able to receive VLAN 
tagged traffic when used with openvswitch.
I am on Centos 6.5 with the following kernel:
3.10.51-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
I have the following intel driver in my setup.
[root@XXX ~]# ethtool -i eth1
driver: igb
version: 5.0.3-k
firmware-version: 1.80, 0x00000000
bus-info: 0000:05:00.1
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes
supports-priv-flags: no
[root@XXX ~]# lspci | grep Ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection 
(rev 01)
02:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection 
(rev 01)
02:00.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection 
(rev 01)
02:00.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection 
(rev 01)
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection 
(rev 01)
04:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection 
(rev 01)

I use eth1 on the DOM-0 for physical  connectivity to my vm via openvswitch  
and an ip address is configured on the vm. When I try to ping another machine 
in the same network with vlan 5 , it seems that the arps are going out but the 
nic doesn't pick up the  returning arps even though the other end is duly 
replying to the arps.

[root@XXX ~]# tcpdump -i eth1 -ne arp
tcpdump: WARNING: eth1: no IPv4 address assigned

I can see the arps being responded to on the other end. Can you guys help with 
this?

Regards,
Madhur
