I’m bridging traffic on a FreeBSD-10.3 machine, between a vlan and a VIMAGE enabled Jail:
vlan9: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 0c:c4:7a:7d:4f:1e nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active vlan: 9 parent interface: igb0 bridge9: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 02:02:28:ac:d2:09 nd6 options=9<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED> id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 2000 timeout 1200 root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0 member: vnet0:6 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 12 priority 128 path cost 2000 member: vlan9 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 9 priority 128 path cost 20000 vnet0:6: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 description: associated with jail: aec07207-31b9-11e6-8bed-0cc47a7d4f1e options=8<VLAN_MTU> ether 02:ff:60:ae:c0:72 inet6 fe80::ff:60ff:feae:c072%vnet0:6 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xc nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> media: Ethernet 10Gbase-T (10Gbase-T <full-duplex>) status: active All is good in the world, until I also add an IP address to vlan9. When that happens IPFW appears to gobble up packages originating from vnet0:6. They appear on bridge9, but aren’t forwarded in an egress direction down vlan9. I don’t have any sysctls relating to bridge filtering enabled: net.link.ether.ipfw: 0 net.link.bridge.ipfw: 0 net.link.bridge.ipfw_arp: 0 But, with an IP address assigned to vlan9, packets are getting filtered: # ifconfig vlan9 inet 192.168.9.250/24 # tcpdump -i bridge9 13:58:02.498307 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 00:14:f2:76:46:e6 (oui Unknown), length 320 13:58:02.498442 IP 192.168.9.3.bootps > 255.255.255.255.bootpc: BOOTP/DHCP, Reply, length 300 13:58:10.497760 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 00:14:f2:76:46:e6 (oui Unknown), length 320 13:58:10.497892 IP 192.168.9.3.bootps > 255.255.255.255.bootpc: BOOTP/DHCP, Reply, length 300 # tcpdump -i vlan9 13:58:02.498273 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 00:14:f2:76:46:e6 (oui Unknown), length 320 13:58:10.497725 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 00:14:f2:76:46:e6 (oui Unknown), length 320 # ifconfig vlan9 inet delete # tcpdump -i bridge9 14:00:58.486653 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 00:14:f2:76:46:e6 (oui Unknown), length 320 14:00:58.486795 IP 192.168.9.3.bootps > 255.255.255.255.bootpc: BOOTP/DHCP, Reply, length 300 # tcpdump -i vlan9 14:00:58.486634 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 00:14:f2:76:46:e6 (oui Unknown), length 320 14:00:58.486792 IP 192.168.9.3.bootps > 255.255.255.255.bootpc: BOOTP/DHCP, Reply, length 300 I don’t have IP forwarding switched on and so I’d expect bridged packets to carry on being bridged irrespective of whether vlan9 has an IP address or not. What’s strange is that ingress packets to the bridge are being forwarded ok, but egress packets out onto the vlan are being filtered. Is there something obvious that I’ve missed?
