I=E2=80=99m bridging traffic on a FreeBSD-10.3 machine, between a vlan =
and a VIMAGE enabled Jail:

All is good in the world, until I also add an IP address to vlan9. When =
that happens IPFW appears to gobble up packages originating from =
vnet0:6.  They appear on bridge9, but aren=E2=80=99t forwarded in an =
egress direction down vlan9.

I don=E2=80=99t have any sysctls relating to bridge filtering enabled:

net.link.ether.ipfw: 0
net.link.bridge.ipfw: 0
net.link.bridge.ipfw_arp: 0

But, with an IP address assigned to vlan9, packets are getting filtered:

# ifconfig vlan9 inet 192.168.9.250/24

# tcpdump -i bridge9

I don=E2=80=99t have IP forwarding switched on and so I=E2=80=99d expect =
bridged packets to carry on being bridged irrespective of whether vlan9 =
has an IP address or not.

What=E2=80=99s strange is that ingress packets to the bridge are being =
forwarded ok, but egress packets out onto the vlan are being filtered.

Is there something obvious that I=E2=80=99ve missed?

Cheers,
Joe
