|| The setting affects traffic transmitted from a virtual machine. If this option is set to reject, the virtual switch compares the source MAC address being transmitted by the operating system with the effective MAC address for its virtual network adapter to see if they are the same. If the MAC addresses are different, the virtual switch drops the frame. The guest operating system will not detect that its virtual network adapter cannot send packets using the different MAC address. To protect against MAC address impersonation, all virtual switches should have forged transmissions set to reject | || The setting affects traffic transmitted from a virtual machine.

Should only be used when there are 3 or more physical NIC's assigned to the vSwitch, uplinked to the network switch. This is to enable the ESX to be able to properly determine the state of the network during a daily condition. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005577 for further info. | |||
