Bug ID: 197511
Summary: BPF --> Interactions with Dhclient, Tcpdump, and
Network Connections (Ping)
Product: Base System
Version: 10.1-STABLE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Have noticed on a recent install of FreeBSD 10.1 network firewall (pf) ,by
accident, that if I enable tcpdump on the external interface, I can easily
obtain an IP address via Dhclient on a Comcast cable network. If I close the
Tcpdump program, I can no longer ping external ip's such as google dns, or the
IPV6 endpoint of a 6-4 tunnel. Once I restart the Tcpdump program, all
connectivity is restored. I believe the code in common is the bpf (Berkley
Packet Filter).
Have observed the same behavior using FreeBSD 9.3 on the same hardware.
Seems rather odd that I need to have tcpdump running all the time on this
firewall. Condition is persistant through reboots. Devices noted in /dev are
bpf, and bpf0. Should there be more bpf devices? I remember a while back the
kernel options allowed a number option... is that still the case?
