Description Torsten 2020-05-22 08:56:00 UTC
Hi all,

my setup is a virtualized OPNsense Firewall 20.1.7 with FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p20-HBSD.

The host is Ubuntu 18.04.04 with Xen 4.9 and Intel i350 NIC with several guests (OPNsense and ubuntu).

I created SR-IOV virtual function, VF on physical interface enp5s0 and 
tagged each VF with VLAN ID 20 on the host.

The NIC supports transparent vlan which will automatically tag and untag packet at the VF before leave or reach the guest. Currently, FreeBSD igb driver does not correctly handle the vlan tag. Packet inbound is not untagged as supposed to be, it has a wrong vlan tag (1024). The other ubuntu guests do not have this problem - traffic is untagged.

I tried with additional VLAN tagging in the OPNSense VM, but then I get error message on the host, that tagging is not allowed in guest.

Looking at the traffic in case no VLAN tagging in the VMs, which should be the right way using VLANs with SR-IOV. All traffic coming in to OPNSense VM is tagged with 1024 as seen in the tcpdump.

tcpdump ubuntu VM
ping 192.168.20.1

    192.168.20.250 > 192.168.20.1: ICMP echo request, id 778, seq 1, length 64

There is an old bug report with a similar behavior https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209581

Any chance this bug could be fixed?

Kind regards
Torsten

Hi all,

updated my OPNsense which based on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p8-HBSD. Still same behavior.

Any chance to get this fixed?

Regards
Torsten
