While running the command, I unplugged the sfp module and put it back
in. This is the outcome.

root at VMC-01-SN:~# tcpdump -i eth4
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth4, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes
^C
0 packets captured
2 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel

tcpdump -i eth1 (Interface for the productive system) shows expected
behavior. All kinds of traffic which matches the services that are
running on the VM.

In the VM, no.
On the host due to the kernel bug I linked to in my first mail, I'm not
able to restart the interface seperately.
Afaik for know the only way to set an IP on eth4 is to "reboot -f" the
host. Which is something I can not due right now because there are
productive systems on it. Maybe weekend.
