Hi,
I would like to ask you for some hints about where to look next and how could I
debug the following issue:
I have a FreeBSD host with two Ethernet interfaces and a Linux host with one
interface, which connected each other as in the picture below:
eth0.100 --- eth0 --------------- mge0 --- vlan0
\
\
bridge0
/
/
mge1 --- vlan1
On FreeBSD host:
# ifconfig
mge0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu
1500
options=8000b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,LINKSTATE>
ether 00:02:00:58:31:30

mge1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu

ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
inet 172.18.0.254 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 172.18.255.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
status: active
vlan: 100 parent interface: mge0
vlan1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:02:01:58:31:30
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,master>)
status: active
vlan: 100 parent interface: mge1
The test is to ping from the remote Linux host the vlan0 interface
(172.18.0.254). I intentionally changed the vlan0 MAC address to be different
than it's parent: the mge0 device. I know it is not good configuration, but
this allows me to reproduce the issue I'm asking here. The problem is that if I
start sniffing packets (using tcpdump) on mge0 I observe correct ping requests,
but on bridge0 interface I'm getting corruptions:
# tcpdump -eni bridge0
15:34:15.624125 00:01:6c:ea:a1:70 > 00:11:22:33:44:55, ethertype 802.1Q
(0x8100), length 104: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, IP13 bad-hlen 8
I'm always seeing the same corruption (0xdb octed in the place where the first
octet of IP header should be, plus one additional random octed right after it).
This corrupts the IP version and header length fields. The interesting think is
also that after those two bogus octets, the rest of the packet in the correct
form appears. However, I instrumented the code of bridge interface
(sys/net/if_bridge.c) and when I do printf() directly from the mbuf of the
beginning bytes of the received packet I don't see any corruption there. I
suspect there may be some problem with tcpdump or its integration with the
stack. Have anyone had a similar problems/observations and does anybody have
any hints on what can be causing this corruption and how to debug it further?
I'm using FreeBSD 8.3 on ARM architecture. Thanks in advance for your response.
Best regards,
Michal
