You've left filtering enabled on your bridge. You can either change
your firewall configuration, or you can disable filtering by setting
the above sysctls to 0.

Best wishes,

Thanks for all the follow-ups.

Feel free to let me know if there is better output to describe the
machine's config than what's in the first email.

This falls into the "I need special features the vanilla switch
doesn't give me" issue. I'm a grad student and work in a lab with
mostly VMs. The goal is to build a small plug-and-go device that I can
use for monitoring and manipulating frames in a test environment.

VMware networking settings "shouldn't" be the issue, unless VMware
vmnets handle this situation abnormally. I can successfully use the
same VM (the one named bridge) as a router if the same VMnets are on
different subnets.

> You've left filtering enabled on your bridge.
[root(a)bridge]# sysctl net.link.bridge.pfil_member=0
net.link.bridge.pfil_member: 1 -> 0
[root(a)bridge]# sysctl net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge=0
net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge: 1 -> 0
[root(a)bridge]# sysctl net.link.bridge.pfil_onlyip=0
net.link.bridge.pfil_onlyip: 1 -> 0

No effects. Results same as before.

It seems like there should be a one-liner I forgot to run or some
setting that should be disabled. I'm going to keep plugging away at
this.

Willingly accepting any ideas, thanks,
-Ryan

So the computer in question is a VM? You may have to do something
special with the interfaces as presented by VMware, but I'm not
entirely certain.

How are you setting up this bridge: Are you trying to create this
bridge by hand, or are you letting /etc/rc.d/bridge work its magic?
Grep for autobridge in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Best wishes,
Matthew
