trying to transmit traffic that is unknown to the vswitch

Hello,

 

I have an umbuntu-based vm that is connected to a vswitch.  The vswitch is tagged on the uplink to a cisco 3750.  Pinging between a host on the 3750 and the vm works.  I am trying to use tcpreplay on the vm to transmit packets towards a physical box that is connected to the 3750.  The traffic that I am transmitting is not using any source mac addresses that are known to the vswitch.  The destination mac addresses are of course unknown too.

 

Can this be done in a vswitch environment?  I suspect not based upon my research on the web on unknown unicast packets and vswitch.  Just looking for confirmation or not.

 

Thomas
