hi. its unclear to me with all the netmap bug and emulated driver stuff around ZenArmor.. Are these bugs specific to using interfaces with VLANs enabled on the router?

i have a 4-port router device with i226 using igc. i don't use VLANs on router since i have 1 WAN + 3 subnets that i just give them their own physical ports. VLANs only used on the switches. if that is the case, is ZenArmor supported with igc driver? and if so, what mode should i be using? Native NETMAP? Emulated NETMAP?

thanks

Hi,

Zenarmor has been doing with OPNsense and Klara on the FreeBSD kernel side which brings bridge device support and a considerable improvement to the emulated mode where several packet stalls and mbuf leaks have been identified and subsequently fixed.

As you might have noticed, OPNsense's 23.1.6 release has delivered some important kernel updates to the netmap subsystem. Some of them are as follows:

- Improving the reliability and stability of the emulated mode for all ethernet devices
- Add emulated mode support for bridge(4), VLAN(4), lagg(4) and tun(4) pseudo interfaces

You may run Zenarmor with emulated netmap driver on igc device.
