Hi Folks,

I'm struggling with networking when using vm-bhyve on FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE.=
 I have two NICs and have configured the first (igb0) on a management netwo=
rk and want to use the second (igb1) for VMs.  However, I can't get any VM =
to communicate through the virtual switch if I have igb1 added to it.  If I=
 take the NIC out of the switch and configure an ipv4 address on it I can r=
each other hosts on the relevant subnet so I believe the poet set-up is val=
id.  If I replace igb1 in the switch with igb0, I can then configure VMs on=
 my management network and they have network connectivity.  Can I only use =
an interface that has an IP address configured at the host level before add=
ing it to the switch?   I've used other Hypervisors successfully by simply =
presenting a trunk port to the virtual switch, but this does not seem to wo=
rk with vm-bhyve either.

Regards,

Paul Esson
