Description Adam Voigt 2001-08-26 03:30:00 UTC

IPFilter refuses to filter bridged packets under freebsd, I would classify this as a ipfilter problem except ipfilter filter's bridged packets under OpenBSD just fine.

Fix: 

N/A
How-To-Repeat: N/A

ipf was OpenBSD's internal packet filter, and was able to work with bridged
packets. Under FreeBSD, you have to use ipfw in order to filter bridged packets.
And in future OpenBSD's release, you'll have to use 'pf' ;)

IPfilter never had the functionality to filter bridged packets 
in FreeBSD. Bridging on FreeBSD and OpenBSD are implemented differently. 
Indeed, as the submitter says, on FreeBSD the only option is to use 
ipfw.
