[OpenIndiana-discuss] crossbow, sniffing, & vlans

[jason matthews]

i am rather found of solving problems with tcpdump but i have discovered that crossbow VLANs break ether sniffering.

i normally make a VNIC and assign to a VLAN such as:

dladm create-vnic -l aggr0 -v 300 net0

this totally breaks iftop and tcpdump - however, snoop works. should i be creating my VLANs “the other way?" or is there some other sort of work around that I am not up to speed on? or should I file a bug report?

do you guys have any input here...

thanks,
j.
