I'm a bit puzzled by that. I don't have the bridge module (or brcompat) in my module stack. So, I'm curious where those LLDP multicasts are being dropped. Two other datapoints 1) I connected my switch to Windows7 machine running wireshark and it does not see the discovery packets using *either* address. 2) When I monitor /proc/net/dev on the openwrt switch, the transmitted packet count increases by 1 about every 5 seconds. So, I think the packets are really being sent. However, on the linux machine running wireshark the received packet count on the interface is not incremented. The only thing between the switch and the PC is a wire, so either the packets are not actually going out on the wire (even though the switch thinks so), or they are getting dropped at a very low level in the linux networking stack. Has anyone else observed a problem with LLDP packets being "invisible" to wireshark? -- Peter Fales Alcatel-Lucent Member of Technical Staff 1960 Lucent Lane Room: 9H-505 Naperville, IL 60566-7033 Email: peter.fa...@alcatel-lucent.com Phone: 630 979 8031 _______________________________________________ openflow-discuss mailing list openflow-discuss@lists.stanford.edu https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/openflow-discuss
