Nexus 1000V - Mac Address Spoofing - Hyper-V

[DanielSheppard]

Alright, I have a little bit of a weird problem, I am working on configuring a NLB, and I am having issues with the actual setup of spoofing in Hyper-V on the Nexus 1000V.

My current setup has the command: "no mac auto-static-learn" on the port, which to my knowledge should enable mac spoofing.  However, when that is enabled, I still have to manually go into the Hyper-V console and enable mac address spoofing (in Hyper-V, not in SCVMM).

Does anyone have any thoughts on a way to get this to automatically apply with the port-profile.

Resolved myself, set a native port profile of NLB NIC which enabled Spoofing.

You can enable mac address spoofing from SCVMM also. 

Steps to follow:-

1. Create a Microsoft "virtual" port profile from "Fabric ->Networking->PortProfiles"

2. Enable the option "Mac Spoofing"

3. Now combine this port-profile with the Nexus1000V port-profile in the port-pclassification section under

Fabric ->Networking-> Logical Switch ->n1k Logical Switch -> Virtual Ports -> Edit Port Classifications

4. Once thats done, if you use this port-profile to attach veths, mac spoofing will get enabled on the HyperV Host
