No Internet access when IPS is on

OK,
my tests (both Lab and Production) confirm this.
I run suricata on each VLAN and leave promiscuous mode on, and IPS works. I have tested with igb and ixl interfaces.

Thanks,
Frank

Meanwhile, I am a bit confused...  :-\

As I wrote in my previous posts I had to run IPS on my VLAN Interfaces, but not on the physical interface. Otherwise I would not get DHCP leases on my VLAN Subnets an I could not connect to the internet.

Then the world turned upside down...  :o
A few days ago I had to perform several reboots after some issues with power supply. After that I was not able to get a DHCP lease with the exact config that used to work before.  So I played around a bit.  After configuring IPS running on the physical LAN interface, but not on the VLAN interfaces anymore I immediately got DHCP Leases on all of my VLAN Subnets. This seems to be stable so far.

I have no idea why the system's behaviour changed after the reboots. From my point of view this seems to be quite strange...

Hi Frank.

Thanks for testing this.  Just to clarify: was this on the VLANs only or also the physical LAN interface?

Hey Cajuba.  Did you upgrade to 19.7.5_5 per chance?

Hi,

IPS only on the VLANs, not on the physical NIC. Promiscuous mode ON.

Best regards,
