I am using SCVMM 2012 R2 and Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V hosts. I have 2 KEMP LoadMaster VMs running on same host and are trying to form HA pair. The way they form HA pair is to use VRRP to communicate to each other. It uses broadcast over 224.0.0.x IP address.
I have enabled Mac address spoofing on virtual switch but the VMs fail to create a pair. Looking at network captures, it seems that the multicast packets never gets to the other VM.
So the question is, does HNV/NVGRE networks allow multicast packets to broadcast to other VMs connected to same virtual network? Is there a way to configure virtual switches to allow multicast for VRRP?
