the macvlan interface cannot ping each other no matter network cable is plugged or not

$ ping -I 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.177
PING 192.168.1.177 (192.168.1.177) from 192.168.1.2 : 56(84) bytes of data.

6 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4999ms


I also perform an additional test: the guests (macvtap bridge mode) CAN communicate each other no matter network cable is plugged or not.
