next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have a PC64 machine with a recently-installed copy of FreeBSD 5.0-RC1
(plus a cvsup or two since installation). I want to use it as a bridged
firewall using two fxp NICs. The kernel is a derivative of GENERIC with
inapplicable devices commented out, and only one option:
options PFIL_HOOKS
added (I'm using 5.0 in the first place because I want to use ipf on the
bridge).
My trivial bridge setup is:
# cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/0.bridge.sh
#!/bin/sh
kldload bridge
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg="fxp0,fxp1"
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_ipf=1
sysctl net.link.ether.bridge=1
and my ipf.rules consists of only:
pass in all
pass out all
for now. The setup works well for short periods of time, but the kernel
panics as soon as a small load crosses the bridge. Excerpts from dmesg:

I have never experienced these panics using the system in non-bridged mode,
i.e. as a regular host on the network. The repeatability is 100%: if I
enable bridging, then the kernel panics within minutes.
Any ideas? I am *very* new to the Alpha platform (I only built my first
machine within the last month), although I have a bit of experience with
FreeBSD/x86.
Please note that although I'd be willing to try a bog-standard GENERIC
kernel, I don't have one on the system anymore, and it takes several hours
to build one. As I've dedicated tonight to a 'buildworld' to update the
compiler toolchain before giving this another effort, I'll have to wait
until tomorrow (at the earliest) to try it. However, my kernel really
should be very similar to GENERIC (minus the one addition), and I only used
the minimal optimizations ('-O') from /etc/defaults/make.conf to build it.
