The old implementation is setting the virtual bridge mode as VEPA which is port aggregation. Enable the switching ability by setting the loop back mode for the specific VSIs which connect to PF or VFs.As I know, there is a known issue about the veb switch on older NVM version. I would be better to add a NVM version verification, if version > xx.xx, then enable it? Thanks Jingjing
Great suggestion, i will add the check for it! Thanks Zhe Tao
