Dear @ll,
I'm experimanting with byhve and vale, so far I got the following working:
vmTest0 and vmTest1 can ping each other, piece of cake.
Now I wanted to attach the hypervisor to vale1 switch as well.
I have tried tap and netgraph, but in both cases I'm unable to connect the device to the vale switch, ifconfig always shows no carrier and I'm unable to ping either vmTest0 or vmTest1 from the hypervisor, although ping works between vmTest0 and vmTest1.
Any help or pointing in the right direction would be highly appreciated!

Code:
$ vm switch create -t vale vale1
$ vm info vmTest0 | grep switch
virtual-switch: vale1
$ vm info vmTest1 | grep switch
virtual-switch: vale1
$ vm start vmTest0
$ vm start vmTest1
$ valectl
