Broadcast traffic on vlans leaks into the parent interface on NetBSD-5.1
Hello. I've just noticed an issue where broadcast traffic on vlans
also shows up on the parent interface. My environment is NetBSD-5.1/i386
with the wm(4) driver. I'm not sure yet if the problem is specific to the
wm(4) driver or if it's a more general issue. The bug didn't exist in
NetBSD-4.x.
To repeat, set up a vlan in addition to the parent interface as a subnet.
Then, run dhcpd so that it can listen and hand out addresses on both
networks. Put a dhcp client on the vlan and watch its broadcasts show up
on both the vlan and parent interfaces of the dhcp serving box.
Has anyone else seen this issue? Should I file a bug?
-thanks
-Brian
