The virtual switch Promiscuous Mode policy must be set to reject on the ESXi host.
Description
Discussion Text
When promiscuous mode is enabled for a virtual switch all virtual machines connected to the Portgroup have the potential of reading all packets across that network, meaning only the virtual machines connected to that Portgroup. Promiscuous mode is disabled by default on the ESXi Server, and this is the recommended setting. Promiscous mode can be set at the vSwitch and/or the Portgroup level. You can override switch level settings at the Portgroup level.
