In a Ubuntu 20.04 machine connected to my home LAN, I created macvlans under my ethernet device:
$ sudo ip link add macvlan1 link enp37s0 type macvlan mode bridge
$ sudo dhclient macvlan1
$ sudo ip link add macvlan2 link enp37s0 type macvlan mode bridge
$ sudo dhclient macvlan2
By chance, they got the following addresses from DHCP:
* macvlan1: 192.168.0.40
* macvlan2: 192.168.0.41
I could ping my router from each of them:
$ ping 192.168.0.1 -I macvlan1
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) from 192.168.0.40 macvlan1: 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.20 ms

Since they are were created in bridge mode, virtual devices should be connected to each other. But I can't ping one from the other:
$ ping 192.168.0.40 -I macvlan2
PING 192.168.0.40 (192.168.0.40) from 192.168.0.41 macvlan2: 56(84) bytes of data.

PING 192.168.0.41 (192.168.0.41) from 192.168.0.40 macvlan1: 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 192.168.0.41 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2039ms
Why I can't ping one from another? How to fix this?
