Title:
  VMWARE vSwitch drops packages with differ mac-addresses

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  We are using Grizzly release with vmwareapi ESXi compute driver.
  Network schema: nova-network with multi_host. Compute node located
  inside ESXi as was mentioned in OpenStack docs.

  We've faced with networking thoubles. Instance gets an IP address, but
  no ICMP, TCP, etc. connectivity.

  On compute node nova-network creates bridges and vlan interfaces with
  mac-addreses differ than on private interface.

  eth2       - 52:54:00:a2:41:df - private interface(vlan trunk)

  br300    - fa:16:3e:5a:f3:79
  vlan300 - fa:16:3e:5a:f3:79

  Vmware vSwitch doesn't have CAM table (as real switch) and drops all
  packages with unknown destination mac-addresses.

  SOLUTION: set on br300 and vlan300 mac-address from eth2

  ip link set br300 address  52:54:00:a2:41:df
  ip link set vlan300 address  52:54:00:a2:41:df

  Please take look at my temporary patch for nova.
