  4. Under the Networking category, click Virtual switches.
  5. Select the virtual switch for the Edge Compute Stack virtual machine, and then click Edit.
  6. Configure the security policies for the virtual switch as follows:
    1. Select Accept for Promiscuous mode.
    2. Select Accept for MAC address changes.
    3. Select Accept for Forged transmits.
  7. Click OK to save the settings and close the window.
