Setting Virtual switch to Accept MAC Address change and Forged Transmit, permits Virtual Machines to send frames with an impersonated source MAC address. This allows an intruder to stage malicious attacks on devices in a network.

If these settings are not set to Reject, denial of service attack can be staged and integrity of data breached once a Virtual Machine can be made to send data as if it were the originating VM via MAC Address change and forged transmit.

Ensure Vswitch security setting is consistently set to reject for promiscuous mode, MAC Address Change, Forged Transmit as part of host Vmkernel adapter configuration. Host profiling/baseline implementation will come in handy here.
