Hi, My current setup as shown below has a vlan-bridged dmz interface, and it *seems* to be working fine although I am getting occasional ping packet loss (<5 every 10-15 minutes). However, this might be a switch issue.
The interfaces file from my current config (configuration 1) is: lan $IF_LAN routeback,arp_filter=1,proxyarp=1 wan $IF_WAN routeback,arp_filter=1,proxyarp=1 caib $IF_CAIB arp_filter=1 ibs $IF_IBS arp_filter=1 dmz dmzbr bridge,dhcp,proxyarp=1 dmz0 dmzbr:${IF_DMZ} routeback dmz1 dmzbr:${IF_DMZ}.1 routeback dmz11 dmzbr:${IF_DMZ}.11 routeback lanx lanbr bridge,dhcp,proxyarp=1 dmz12 lanbr:${IF_DMZ}.12 routeback lan0 lanbr:enp8s5 routeback lan1 lanbr:enp8s5.1 routeback lan12 lanbr:enp8s5.12 routeback lan13 lanbr:enp8s5.13 routeback lan14 lanbr:enp8s5.14 routeback lan15 lanbr:enp8s5.15 routeback - lo - Shorewall dump for Configuration 1: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kSwMG98Ej2FiKsVtAYo9gzerA5sueuVG In this setup I used the lanx bridge interface to perform some lab tests before disrupting the main traffic which goes through the lan interface. The tests seemed to be OK. Today I tried to configure vlans on my LAN interface so this is my new interfaces file (configuration 2): lan ${IF_LAN_BR} bridge,dhcp,arp_filter=1,proxyarp=1 lan0 ${IF_LAN_BR}:${IF_LAN} routeback lan1 ${IF_LAN_BR}:${IF_LAN}.1 routeback lan12 ${IF_LAN_BR}:${IF_LAN}.12 routeback lan13 ${IF_LAN_BR}:${IF_LAN}.13 routeback lan14 ${IF_LAN_BR}:${IF_LAN}.14 routeback lan15 ${IF_LAN_BR}:${IF_LAN}.15 routeback wan $IF_WAN routeback,arp_filter=1,proxyarp=1 caib $IF_CAIB arp_filter=1 ibs $IF_IBS arp_filter=1 dmz ${IF_DMZ_BR} bridge,dhcp,proxyarp=1 dmz0 ${IF_DMZ_BR}:${IF_DMZ} routeback dmz1 ${IF_DMZ_BR}:${IF_DMZ}.1 routeback dmz11 ${IF_DMZ_BR}:${IF_DMZ}.11 routeback dmz12 ${IF_LAN_BR}:${IF_DMZ}.12 routeback dmz13 ${IF_DMZ_BR}:${IF_DMZ}.13 routeback - lo - Shorewall dump for Configuration 2: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Zm72KKq5BGax04jNLdqubdSE7Y7GlzR1 At first everything seemed to work fine, but after a couple of minutes the network went bonkers. Ping tests from $FW to lan hosts or vice versa would fail and work randomly. A typical ping test would yield 5 or 10 echo replies OK then 5 or 10 losses, and so on (50% packet loss as a general rule of thumb). During the dump there was a "failing" ping test between $FW and lan host at 10.215.144.48. So I had to fall back to Configuration 1, and now I'm unsure what to try with Configuration 2 before getting into trouble again... Is there anything "blatantly wrong" with my second configuration? What can I try or test? Would a tcpdump or a shorewall [ip]trace be useful?
