Okay, here's the situation. PLEASE let me know if there's a better place to ask. (isp@, kernel@, something)

I'm setting up a bridging firewall where the packets are passing through on dot1q trunks.

The bridge works. Packet counts work (so I assume the bridge at least sees the packets).

Problem is, any "reasonable" rules (such as those which actually say to block traffic by ip or port or anything) aren't working at all. Not even logging counts.

Setting the "bridged" flag doesn't seem to help.

Which "bridged" flag would that be?


My only guess is that ipfw doesn't have the brains to look beyond the VLAN tags. Is this the case? Is this supported under 4.x, or is there any way AT ALL that I can get this to work?

What version are you using? You mention 4.x here, but your subject line suggests 5.4.


As a note, snort and trafshow and everything else work fine analyzing the bridge traffic, it seems only the kernel has an issue.

Do you have the net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw sysctl set to 1?
