Parameterlegacy_mode
TypeBoolean
Value

If this parameter is set to "true" CHARON-VAX tries to use very first implementation of "packet_port" having certain restrictions such as inability to automatically change MAC address on given interface etc.

This setting may be needed if CHARON-VAX runs in VMware environment for example and you do not want to allow promiscuous mode.

In other situations please do not change its default value ("false").

Example:

set pp_1 legacy_mode=true


Info

This parameter is required only if you do not want to allow promiscuous traffic for the VMware adapter/port. In this mode, CHARON-VAX uses legacy MAC address change logic, so use of this option is not desirable.

Thus for ESXi networking configuration:

  1. Create the port with e1000 adapter;
  2. Enable the promiscuous traffic;
  3. Do not use legacy_mode option in Charon's configuration file
