Hello!
Today my DC said "My ports just made an ethernet loop."

At the moment of happening we saw lots of MACs on your port that normally do not belong to you (see the listing below).

Most likely you have several bridges on your proxmox with VMs added to multiple of them. At some point some vms just pass the traffic between the bridges and it returns the packets back to our network.

Anyone know what's happening?

The Host server have only one bridge vmbr0

Like this


auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eno1 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.10.2/24 gateway 192.168.10.1 bridge-ports eno1 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0
