The interfaces are put into promiscuous mode automatically when there's something that needs them to be. Otherwise, it's a waste of CPU time to receive packets that the network stack is simply going to otherwise discard. > I'm trying to use the first vr[0-3] interfaces like an L2 switch in this case.
