ACI leaf is learning the VM mac address from ESXI host but not the Physical NIC mac address of host

[Qaisar Mehmood]

Hi Everyone - I wonder if someone can help me resolve this issue. I am trying to trace the physical connections on from Cisco UCS running ESXI to ACI leaf. The issue is that ACI leaf is learning the VM mac address from ESXI host but not the Physical NIC mac address of host. However the management interface MAC is being learnt on ACI leaf

How I can I find out the physical NIC's ip address on leaf end?

Thanks

The physical NICs mac is never used as a source-address - that's why you don't learn it.

Thanks Marcel, is there any workaround this if I want to trace the connection remotely?
