General Discussion / WAN port flapping when spoofing mac on a DEC850?
« on: August 04, 2022, 09:44:54 pm »
I'm using the latest opnsense (21.7) and I have a Deciso DEC850 and decided to try out specifying a custom MAC on the WAN port.
When I do this, the WAN port flaps. The interface goes up then down, then up, then down. It continues to do this until I remove the MAC spoof and then it starts working normally again.
Has anyone ever seen this issue before?
I installed the intel-em-kmod package / driver from FreeBSD but no luck, it still flaps.
I would be curious if someone who has a DEC800 series router could try to specify a custom MAC address on igb0 and let me know if it flaps.
