Hello
I have following setup - openvpn 2.0b2 in mode server. In up-script I
ifconfig tap-device to 0.0.0.0 promisc up and add that to bridge with
one physical interface. Sometimes (not allways) I'm getting following
error message:
(tap0): received packet with own address as source address
This fixes when I either reboot the box or delete that bridge and build
it again. also sometimes it's triggered if that physical line is
connected while rebooting but not when I connect the cable after it has
booted up. Effectively this is caused by line 285 in net/bridge/br_fbd.c
(using linux 2.6.6). If someone has had similar problems I'm more than
glad to hear about. Also it is semi-randomly triggered either from pings
from eth-device or tap-device - but not from both at the same time - so
if tap hangs eth will work. I'm wondering if this can be bug in bridge-code?
Yours.
