Hello experts,
I am new to VMware, recently I was tasked to enable SRIOV and assign the VF as a PCI adapter. Later user wanted to create VLAN/Subinterface in the VM.
User complained that VLAN traffic is not passing to the directly connected switch.
I saw the following logs on the host. Can someone please help?
