We’re not quite sure what’s going on. Can you send the output of dmesg as well 
as “ifconfig –a” and “netstat –g”?

Keep in mind that attachments don’t work on this mailing list. If the dmesg is 
large, please open a bug on e1000.sourceforge.net and attach it there.

Thanks.

Subject: Multicast filters in igbvf driver

Hi Todd et.al<http://et.al>.,

I'm facing an issue with igbvf driver handling the virtual function of I350 NIC 
in a guest VM on qemu-kvm, where no multicast packets are seen in the guest.  I 
do see the multicast filters properly programmed (by writing to mailbox to 
communicate to host igb driver).  Packets are not seen even if the interface is 
put in promiscuous mode in the guest.  The only way to solve the issue is to 
put the physical interface (or physical function) of the corresponding VF in 
promiscuous mode on the host.

I tried looking into  in the mailing lists if any such issues are reported, but 
couldn't find one.  Could you please let me know of any known issues with igbvf 
driver in handling multicast packets or is it by design that the multicast 
packets and the filters are not engaged in.

Thank you.

Regards,
B Lee
