17.7 Legacy Series / Bridging vlans - 17.7
April 20, 2018, 08:39:23 PM
Hello
I would like to get some help regarding a little problem i am facing. I create bridge0 and assign 2 interfaces igb6 and igb7 to it. Connecting 2 systems to these ports and they are able to ping each other (both of 10.10.10.0/24 series for testing).
Next i create vlan_igb5 with parent interface igb5 and vlan_igb6 with parent igb6. Remove parent interfaces from bridge0 and assign vlans created above to the bridge, i can't seem to ping no matter what. Can anyone please guide what is wrong?
P.s: created rules for parents as well as bridge and vlans allowing all traffic.
Also tcpdump shows nothing whatsoever for bridge as well as vlans after being assigned to bridge.

Hardware and Performance / aes 256 performance
February 02, 2018, 12:09:35 PM
Hello
Have lanner 8759. Testing out aes 256 performance
config at both ends:
Mode: MAin
P1 protocol: aes 256 and sha1
p2 protocol: esp and sha1

I am getting throughput of about 420 Mbps (measured through iperf)
I was wondering if this is good on a xeon e3-1275 processor?
Also it supports aes ni, does that get enabled by default or has to be enabled via bios?
Lastly are there any tunables that i can play around with to increase performance since my cpu utilization hardly gets upto 15%?

Hello
I have seen instructions on github page regarding how to build image. While i have not tried it yet, i would like to know if it is possible to build image with selected packages e.g we dont need dhcp v6. Few other packages can be removed this way. Is there any way to develop such custom image?
