Hello Everyone,

i stumbled across an issue with Mac filter and hoping someone will be able to advise if there is a workaround.
Also searched the web and forums with no luck

I have firewall and mac filter enabled for datacenter and vm's

VM-1 has 2 ip addresses, one public and one private, VM-2 has only private ip addresses.
Nating from VM-1 ( port forwarding ) to VM-2 does not work when mac filter on VM level is enabled.
Outbound nat from VM-2 through VM-1 does work when mac filter on VM level is enabled.
Both VM's can ping each other internally.

Is there any workaround to fix the inbound nat from VM-1 to VM-2 while keeping the Mac Address filtering enabled to prevent spoofing?

Thanks
 
UPDATE:
I forgot to mention that i have IPSET enabled on each VM interface.

Additionally,

Disabling mac filter and ip filter on VM-1 does not allow inbound nat to work, i have to disabling the firewall itself under this VM for it to work
This confuses things i guess?!

Firewall Inbound policy is set to ALLOW
