Hi again,
This problem only started happening since upgrading from 5.4-p6 to
6-beta2 on one of my test firewalls.
Aug 9 11:25:46 firewall1 kernel: bridge0: MTU mismatch, frame length
1514 exceeds 1500 on sis1
Aug 9 11:26:14 firewall1 last message repeated 223 times
Aug 9 11:26:14 firewall1 kernel: bridge0: MTU mismatch, frame length
1514 exceeds 1500 on sis0
Aug 9 11:26:15 firewall1 kernel: bridge0: MTU mismatch, frame length
1514 exceeds 1500 on sis1
So on and so forth, for ALL traffic coming in/out. I went from using the
freebsd bridge to if_bridge which was imported from netbsd for a variety
of reasons. Bridging same NICs, nothing has changed other than the
freebsd version, and the switch from the freebsd bridging utility to the
imported netbsd one. 1514 would be the MTU of ethernet, but not sure why
it's appearing here.
sis0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fee0:af51%sis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:09:5b:e0:af:51
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
sis1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fee0:a746%sis1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:09:5b:e0:a7:46
media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP <full-duplex>)
status: active
bridge0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
ether ac:de:48:3b:d5:62
priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20
member: sis1 flags=3<LEARNING,DISCOVER>
member: sis0 flags=3<LEARNING,DISCOVER>
All three are MTU 1500, so is this a bug or? Any possible solutions?
Thanks,
David
