After reading through the switch section of the ifconfig manpage I
changed the line in /etc/hostname.switch0 from:

add vether0

to:

addlocal vether0

Unfortunately, I'm still having the same issue, I can see ARP and DHCP
packets from the client computer on em1, vether0 and switch0, and can
see the ARP-REPLY and DHCP-REPLY packets on vether0 but they
never show up on vether0 or switch0. I also tried:

sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1

In case there was an issue forwarding between interfaces but no luck.

Also tested this on the Nov 3rd 6.8-current snapshot with the same
results.

Does anyone recognize this issue, packet replies not being forwarded
from the vether0 to physical adapter on a switch(4)?

For reference, this behavior doesn't happen if I use a bridge(4) with
the same ports and hostname.if except for the addlocal vs add
I mentioned earlier.

If someone wouldn't mind replicating this on their hardware (I've
tested this on two APU2s) it would definitely be appreciated.

Thanks,

John
