Hello all, I have several new Dell R610's each with four Broadcom BCM5709's that are not being configured in 4.5-release with the bge driver. I checked the errata for 4.5 release, but didn't notice any patches that seemed to address this. Suggestions or advice appreciated. Dmesg follows: OpenBSD

MAC address filtering with brconfig + pf

Hello all, For recovery purposes, I'm interested in logging when certain MAC addresses send traffic to our firewall. Understanding that MAC address filtering is the province of brconfig plus tagging, I've setup the following: External interface: em0 Internal interface: em1 I setup the bridge usi

Virtualization seems to have a lot of security benefits. Rootkits can lie to DomU but not Dom0, and of course snapshotting, migration etc is *really* nice. Dom0 in OpenBSD in a current Xen implementation (with HVM) would be a dream. I'd switch wholesale, and buy a CD for every server (as I do

Policy-based filtering for multiple VLANs

2006-10-10 Thread Adam Getchell
Hello all, We are using VLAN-tagging to aggregate multiple subnets onto our firewall. We don't trust all of the networks that we're filtering, so we want to explicitly forbid traffic from VLAN1 to VLAN0 unless there's a rule that allows it. Normally, we put our block in/out rules on the externa
