Adding more people to comment/investigate here. Devendra, could it be that we don't consider subsequent calls of promisc_enabled + allmulti_enable ?
Devendra >> yes, I agree that as long as promiscuous mode is enabled for a port, all traffic should be accepted even if allmulticast is enabled latter. Commit b10231aed1edb9 shouldn't have changed that. I will prepare a fix patch for this. On 18/12/2020 2:34 pm, Balazs Nemeth wrote: > Hi, > > introduces a regression on my systems.
