>Description:
I created a gre tunnel in order to send some MPLS unicast frames over it. They are passing fine but
tcpdump can't catch any of it.
mpls# tcpdump -l -n -vvv -i gre0 ether proto 0x8847
tcpdump: expression rejects all packets
mpls# tcpdump -l -n -vvv -O -i gre0 ether proto 0x8847
tcpdump: listening on gre0, link-type NULL (BSD loopback), capture size 96 bytes
^C
0 packets captured
14 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
During this I left an icmp ping that is encapsulated into MPLS on a router connected via tunnel gre0.
The only ether proto I saw working was 0x0800 (IP).
