Wrong VLAN Behaviour

why are we allowed to define multiple VLANs for same hardware with same VLAN tag ?

This is annoying... and on the console only the last one show up of course...

You need to check and forbid this...

After checking the source I think the only possibility is that the repective interface was DOWN'd after adding the first VID, similar to this:

ifconfig eth0 up
vconfig eth0 42
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up # now with different interface index
vconfig eth0 42 # 2nd one

This is in fact an error in newer kernels too.

ok but why are you allowing to have more than one vlan with same vlanid through the interface as in any case only the last ip entered will take into account..

I was not expecting it to work at kernel level as it is supposedly to get latest ifconfig... but you probably need to have a popup or message saying that vlanid is already in use... into the gui...

Yes, should be avoided in WebAdmin, but has to be also checked at kernel level.

I hope we have a fix for both of those at the time v7.2 is out.

For clarity, can you please install a debug kernel there, redo your test and send me the output of 'dmesg'?. The kernel is available from

http://www.astaromail.com/people/heitzenberger/v7/kernel/debug/kernel-default-2.6.16.60-65vl1.i686.rpm

Please install via 'rpm -i kernel-default-2.6.16.60-65vl1.i686.rpm' and the do a reboot.

Ok So I've installed your RPM

Here is the results:

First I've only eth2 active which is my admin iface:


asg1:/root # ifconfig 

eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:16:3E:5A:AF:1C  

          inet addr:192.168.9.251  Bcast:192.168.9.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

          RX bytes:21337035 (20.3 Mb)  TX bytes:21337035 (20.3 Mb)

And I want to set up vlan 101 for eth1, which is initially down


asg1:/root # ethtool eth1

Settings for eth1:

        Supported ports: [ TP MII ]

        Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full

I then enable the vlan 101 for eth1
and dmesg gives:

Now adding a second vlan with same vlan id 101 for eth1 with different ip:

and ip still from the first one..

Hope this will help...

and CPU is 92% on that test box... and I've nothing active except vlans [:(]
I've no PF rules, no nat, no IPS, no anti-virus, no web proxy... nothing...
