mellanox connectx-3 lan ips issues...

[beyondnoyeb]

Hey all,

Added in a mellanox connectx-3 into the mix and followed mimugmail's excellent guide for updating the firmware off the get go.  I'm running into a bit of a strange issue however; I've realized that if I have IPS turned on the LAN interface (promiscuous mode on) I lose ability to access anything across vlan's or out on the net.  I can access the LAN interface of opnsense, but that's it...

The method I went through to install / move vlans and Lan interface over:
Installed card
Added mlx4en_load="YES" to the /boot/loader.conf.local
Upgraded firmware
Went into interfaces / other types / vlans and changed the all of the vlan's over to interface mlxen0
Went to interfaces / assignments and changed LAN over to mlxen0
inserted cable, interface up.

Things I've tried for the hell of it; turned off promiscuous mode and that killed all connections; so I know that's not a fix . 

Does anyone use these cards with IPS turned on and have vlans?  I feel like i'm missing something simple here or that my method for moving the interfaces over wasn't right.   IPS was working fine when I was over on the copper gigabit Intel 350 NIC.

For the time being i've turned off IPS Mode but would like to have it back on for my LAN as I find it incredibly useful.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer. 

EDIT: MODS: just realized I might should have put this in the IPS forum, please feel free to move it if so

Did you try promisc mode? And also the parent interface and not the vlans?

[beyondnoyeb]

Yup, promisc mode is on and only selecting the main LAN interface. 

Does it work for you?  I can still hit the opnsense ip from the lan network, but no cross vlan work...

[mimugmail]

Currently I have no device with a MLNX card around to test this.

[beyondnoyeb]

Do you have any 10g cards that you are currently using and can verify work with IPS?  I'm going to first try a fresh install just in case there is something wonky causing the issue; but if that doesn't fix it, I'll be in the market for another brand I guess :/

hi!
same issues!
vlan filter disabled and tso and co disabled then seems to work ...
