i did some more debugging homework on that issue, and established a
_very_simple_ setup using a ethernet-hub instead of the HP2524 switches:
+---------+ +-----+
| box 1 |----------|HUB |
+---------+ | | +---------------+
| |---| box3 (bridge) |
+---------+ | | +---------------+
| box 2 |----------| |
+---------+ +-----+
first i setup the 2 boxes (1,2) with vlan interfaces with the same vlanid to see if
communication over the vlan interfaces works. ([x] works fine - i didn't care about
using edX interfaces and didn't worry about mtu issues, as packets i transmit are
very small)
-> then i reconfigured the boxes 2 use different vlans and setup box 3 (communication
was tested the same way beween all devices)
the final vlan-bridge setup was:
on box 1 i have:
vlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1496
inet 192.168.17.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.17.255
inet6 fe80::204:76ff:fe0c:2b2%vlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x10
ether 00:4f:4c:04:39:76
vlan: 20 parent interface: ed1
on box 2:
vlan1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1496
inet 192.168.17.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.17.255
inet6 fe80::210:60ff:fe80:9733%vlan1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9
ether 00:10:60:80:97:33
vlan: 21 parent interface: ed0
the bridge has:
vlan0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1496
inet6 fe80::250:4ff:fe65:a725%vlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
ether 00:50:04:65:a7:25
vlan: 21 parent interface: xl0
vlan1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1496
inet6 fe80::250:4ff:fe65:a725%vlan1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
ether 00:50:04:65:a7:25
vlan: 20 parent interface: xl0
net.link.ether.bridge_cfg: vlan0,vlan1
net.link.ether.bridge: 1
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw: 0
net.link.ether.bridge_ipf: 0
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw_drop: 0
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw_collisions: 0
start to ping box2 at box1:
on vlan20:
arp-request for 192.168.17.3 as broadcast
on vlan21:
bridged arp-request for 192.168.17.3 as broadcast
arp-answer from 192.168.17.3 to 192.168.17.10 _no_broadcast
--> this can only be seen if watching with tcpdump on xl0.
using "tcpdump -nei vlan0" does not report any traffic at all(?!).
if you need more information i may repeat this setup and provide you with a login
to 2 of the testboxes.
best regards
