bridge

I have an AP+bridge+firewall ("router") running FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE r366954 GENERIC amd64. It's roughly set up as follows: - igb0 connects to my ISP via DHCP. (Disabled while I debug this.) - bridge0 has dnsmasq running on it as a DHCP server and DNS server. (Only dynamic addresses at the...

Hello, I'm running a FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE server that hosts few bhyve VMs. The network config is like this: ixl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=e507bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,...> ether ... inet MY.PUBLIC.IP.ADDR netmask 0xffffffc0...

I could mange to install Windows Server 2019 on FreeBSD 12.1-R + Bhyve by following https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/Windows, etc but am having problems with TCP/IPv6 connections as follows: * All firewalls are turned off on both host FreeBSD and guest Windows. * The guest Windows is assigned to...

Hello, I've read a number of other threads and resources (here and elsewhere) but I can't seem to get the correct combination of things to make my scenario work. Some info seems to be outdated or I'm not sure how to fit it in. Maybe it just isn't possible. Hopefully this isn't completely...

Hello, I have an issue with tap interface participating the bridge. The ]tap interface doesn't seems to receive anything, but it does send staff. I have recently update the BSD # uname -mrs -> FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p7 amd64 Here is what I done: # bge0 - lan interface # sysctl...

I am a new user of FreeBSD and I managed to install it on virtualbox as a guest after failing to install it directly on my laptop. I will do that after I gain confidence in FreeBSD on virtualbox. However after installation I am unable to access internet from the Guest FreeBSD. I have looked...

Hi, I've got a FreeBSD VM in a DC running net/ocserv that allows clients to access my network over SSL. It dutifully creates tunnel interfaces as each client connects, and clients route back to the central site via the VM (as it happens over an IPSEC tunnel). Rather that normally route the...

Hello, I'm having strange problem with routing between bridged network interfaces. /internet/ | ae0 +---------+ +--------+ | |---wlan0 - - - - - - - - - - - - | Host2 | | Host1 | +--------+ +--------+ | |---bge0 - - - -...

Hello, I'm trying to setup SoftEther VPN server on a FreeBSD internet gateway (between my home LAN and the Internet). My problem is exactly the same as in the thread "PC-to-LAN connection ok, but…" of softether users forum (https://www.vpnusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4542) but I'm running...

Dear Exports, I have a puzzle on my hand. I have a network isolated from the Internet. The freeBSD computer has 4 Ethernet ports, but only 3 are involved in this puzzle while the 4th is only used to access the freeBSD. My basic goal is to send some of the multicast from the up stream...

I decided to share my setup for SLAAC on jail vnet. 1. Create bridge and epair interface in /etc/rc.conf #Configure bridge interface for jails vnet #epair0 - jail interface cloned_interfaces="bridge0 epair0" #create bridge and epair ifconfig_bridge0="ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx addm re0 SYNCDHCP"...

Hello all, i have a challenge with the generated mac address on the bridge interface. I am building a host wich serves as base for a number of jails so i am creating a VNET network config, becasue i had to compile the kernel vor VNET support i thought to be wise and created a OVF of the VM...

Hi all, What's the difference between vale and a bridge? The only thing that I gather thus far is that bridge is a simple forwarder, irrespective of the destined mac address, whereas vale will verify based on the mac since its a switch? Is this an over-simplification or accurate or mistaken?

Hey FreeBSD people, I'm a long term Linux user who would like to include one or more FreeBSD server into his server infrastructure. Last week I set up a virtual management network via Open vSwitch on my Linux machines. This network connects Linux containers over multiple hosts. The network...

Hi guys, I have this problem I can not sort out, I hope you can give me some ideas. The story is I made an Wireless Access point in FreeBSD-11.1 running in an BeagleBone Black. My wifi adapter is an Alfa AWUS036HN, recognized as "run0", 802.11g. [n not available] The thing works, the olny...

Is it possible to first test a bridge and tap, and maybe even a virtual network interface, before applying it to a VM? I imagine the virtual interface would not be the same one that the VM would create, but, this would be a nice troubleshooting step for getting bridged networking to work on...

Hi all, I run a freeBSD router at home and I love it, I'm always finding new ways to expand my understanding of networking. I recently bought a 4x SFP+ 10GB Chelsio card to play with, and I'm coming up with ways to use it. I already have 4x GBE ports lagg'd together in lagg0. I then apply a...

I have two bridged interfaces, each bridged to a different VLAN interface, and I'd like to have a Virtualbox guest (Linux) access both bridge interfaces. I set this up, but after some connectivity issues, I discovered that the guest can transmit fine (so I see traffic originating from the guest...

I have a bug report filed here but have the feeling this may be upstream. The basic problem is that when bridge0 is associated with a trunked interface, then the host and VM cannot communicate with each other (they can both communicate everywhere else just fine). As an experiment I set the...

Hello everyone! I need help with bridging VLANs and "tap" interfaces for bhyve-VMs. I assume I have misunderstood of networking basics here so please don't kick me too hard. I've already asked at the churchers/vm-bhyve (https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/issues/155), but no solution so far...
