Panic String: bpf_mcopy

@stephenw10 Hi Steve, good morning! How are you? thanks for taking the time to help me :)

I tried to disable TSO4,TSO6 and LRO in vlan oce1.310, first I did an ifconfig -vm oce1.310 so you can see how its status is, then I ran the ifconfig commands oce1.310 -tso4 (and others) and then run ifconfig -vm oce1.310 again so you can see how it looks.

What I notice is that when I run ifconfig to remove the tso and lro options, it doesn't apply the changes. It is worth clarifying that I saw how to do this in the freebsd documentation that explains everything (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?ifconfig)

Here's a picture of what I did so you can see it:

Am I correct or am I doing the procedure wrong? This has me a bit lost, we have spent a lot of money to be able to buy two computers and use pfsense, but so far your help is a great guide for me. Thank you!

You need to do that on oce1 directly not the VLANs on it.

@stephenw10 Thanks Steve! this is the result in the oce1:

It seems that it is not applying either :(

stephenw10

No TSO and LRO are already disabled on oce1. You need to check oce1 again after disabling the VLAN hardware off loading.

The output from the vlan interfaces is just listing the capabilities not what's actually enabled.

@stephenw10 I do it this way and this is the result, should I do it another way?

On the other hand, you know that looking at the boot log, I found this on the computer:

apei0: <ACPI Platform Error Interface>

Do you think it could be something relevant? appears at startup, but once it starts, the computer can go several days without doing the dump until it does. this week he did it twice.

Thanks!

Hmm, well that doesn't appear to have disabled VLAN HW TSO as an option for some reason.
The other things were already disabled, there's no need to disable them again there.
Try any of the other VLAN HW options.

ACPI errors are unfortunately common. Manufacturers often only test Windows and the BIOS tables can be full of errors for other OSes.

@stephenw10 Steve, I'm checking on IRC in the FreeBSD community and they tell me that there is an error to disable vlan_hwtso on oce network cards, and several people tell me that it's not the best option for freebsd/pfsense... what do you think? Is it really incompatible or is it a configuration issue? I'm out of ideas :(

thank you!!!

stephenw10

The Emulex card? I agree, if you can swap it out I would do that. It's not a commonly used NIC so issues that exist with it can go undiscovered.

@stephenw10 Steve, I promise this is the last question I'll ask you until I change the board (and hopefully that will resolve it).

The board I have is brand 10GTEK; Model X520-10G-1S-X8 ; PCIe 2.0 X8 and it has an Intel 82599 chipset, it's 1x SFP+ 10GbE. is it a good board for pfsense? From already thank you very much!!!

stephenw10

I would expect that to be fine. X520 is quite common.
