No, i have not.

No, now is a simple VM with one NIC.

This is what i get with

tcpdump -e -n -i Development arp

11:04:12.285320 00:1a:4a:16:01:51 > Broadcast, ethertype ARP (0x0806),

instead, with tcpdump -e -n -i vnic0 arp

11:14:13.344807 00:1a:4a:16:01:51 > Broadcast, ethertype ARP (0x0806),

On eno5, i get instead this:

11:15:57.355926 00:1a:4a:16:01:51 > Broadcast, ethertype ARP (0x0806),
length 42: Request who-has 10.5.31.254 tell 10.5.28.211, length 28

I can't copy/paste from the vm, but same tcpdump on the vm will show
only arp requests outgoing and no arp reply incoming.

For better clarification:

00:1a:4a:16:01:51 is the mac address of eth0 of the VM
00:00:0c:07:ac:01 is the mac address of the router interface (10.5.31.254)
fe:1a:4a:16:01:51 is the mac address of vtap nic0

As you can see arp reply arrives to eno5 and to the bridge
Development, but arrives not to the vtap vnic0.

This is the issue, because if i set with a static arp entry on the VM
(arp -s 10.5.31.254 00:00:0c:07:ac:01) ping succeeds.
