[Simh] VMware "internal network" and VAX mop frames

[gérard Calliet]

Hello,

It's not specifically a simh question, but I hope someone had experience 
about the issue.

I have a VAX VMS on a SIMH on a Windows VMware instance which uses a 
dedicated NIC for simh.

I have an OpenVMS on an AlphaVM emulator on another Windows VMware 
instance (on the same VMware server) which uses another dedicated NIC 
for the emulator.

(The dedicated NIC have no associated protocol (for example ip) ).

I try a network boot from vax vms simh, which could be served by the 
emulated OpenVMS alpha emulated. I can see the mop broadcasted frames on 
the wire, outside on the VMware server, but they don't arrive at the NIC 
at the host instance of the alpha emulation.

I think something is filtered out inside the VMware server between its 
instances. I don't know more.

Thanks,

Gérard Calliet
