VLAN on T2000 w. Sol 10 01/06 and X4151A card.

The onboard E1000G works fine, it's only when I added the X4151A card that I have this issue.

I installed the card and a fresh install of Sol 10 01/06

I setup the vlan "80" as device ce80000 on device ce0

# ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL > mtu 8232 index 1

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

ce80000: flags=201000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2

inet 10.10.80.112 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 10.10.80.255

ether 0:14:4f:1e:9e:99

I can ping to/from the box, but I can't telnet to/from it.

When I started "snoop" in NON-PROMISC mode suddenly everything worked. I could establish telnet connections to and from the box. When i quit snoop all of them died.

The VLAN config on the switch is fine, I unplugged the MMF cables from a working sun box (with a syskonnect card) and plugged them into the X4151A.

There is no firewall setting.

The IPs are valid.

When I set the switch to use non-trunking and juse configure ce0 with the ip I was using for ce80000 it works fine.

netstat shows no packets.. UNLESS snoop is running (again it's running in NON-PROMISCUOUS MODE)

I'm lost..

What have I done wrong?

# dladm show-link

ipge0type: legacymtu: 1500device: ipge0

ipge1type: legacymtu: 1500device: ipge1

ce0 type: legacymtu: 1500device: ce0

ipge2type: legacymtu: 1500device: ipge2

ipge3type: legacymtu: 1500device: ipge3

oddly the vlan isn't listed there even though all documentation i've read says it should list vlans.

There is no configuration file for the card, and after looking through the manual I don't see any need for me to create one because the VLANs are a seperate thing.

This isn't just limited to e1000g interfaces, I'm experienceing exactly the same behavior with a ce interface. All the other settings are close to those described above (different vlan).

As describe, when snoop is running everything works fine. One thing I noticed is that snoop only captures inbound traffic, not outbound.

Just a quick update:

I spoke to sun support and was told to apply the following patch. It solved all my problems

When I updated all my problems went away :D Apparently around the time I posted that Sun released a fix that corrected the VLAN issues.
