Thanks Alexander, Its an E1000e with vmware tools installed ��� I have seen quirky behaviour from them before but it seems to have been
much better of late. I will try ripping it out and assigning a VMXNET3 adapter.
In response to earlier replies. Kyle -No LACP ��� single uplink from the blade IO module to a single EX2200
Dylan/Liam ��� Exactly my first thoughts but 2 of us have been through every bit of kit between the VM and the rest of the network trying
to spot what the other missed and are both at a loss. It���s not a complicated network.
Will update tomorrow after I change the NIC.
Appreciate the feedback ��� Glad to know it strikes others as odd too
Andrew

Which network interface type is on each VM Guest? (or is your issue with the host?) VMXNET3 is recommended however you probably need VMWare tools installed to use it. The E1000 and E1000e interfaces have some weird issues in network operation
but not that I have seen as even and odd interfaces.
On your network configuration in VMWare how many underlying interfaces are assigned to each V Switch? can you screenshot the V switches and the individual network config screens under properties.
Sounds like their might be some odd check box or interface involvement that causes this issue.

Alexander
