Bridge ports links bouncing
-
Hello,
I am having trouble: I setup a bridge with rstp on, and the port links are going down and up again every 5-10 seconds or so at about a 50% duty cycle.
While data certainly is not moving, I have verified it is the link itself by watching the console output of the other end of the link.
Before setting up the bridge, I configured each port by itself as its own interface, and each port can send/receive packets just fine.
When I configured the bridge, I also set the net.link.bridge.pfil_member to 0 and net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge to 1.
I have tried the following combinations:
-
connecting to a smart switch (untagged vlan)
-
connecting to a dumb switch
-
connecting one firewall to another (pfsense, same setup each)
-
connecting directly to my host computer
-
with and without rstp
-
with the default values of the tunables listed above
-
forcing edge or ptp port modes
-
enabling/disabling auto edge/ptp modes
-
altering bridge priorities
So, here is the pertinant info:
these devices are lanner fw7541C devices running pfsense 2.1. I have turned off all hardware offloading, etc.Can anyone lend insight to me? Thanks!
