Re: SOCK_RAW does not receive broadcast (with VLAN unless PROMISC)

Paul, Patrick,

THANKS!
using "vconfig set_name_type" DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD" enable successful
"vconfig add eth1 <same-id as on eth0>". And now finally without
PROMISC the application receive BROADCASTs on this VLAN.

Many Thanks, Gil

Dear Patrick,
Below is my try to add vlan-id 24 on eth1, followed by "ip -d link list":
root@StudentsHPA:/home/hpa# vconfig add eth1 24
ERROR: trying to add VLAN #24 to IF -:eth1:-  error: File exists

Here is an output from my vconfig :
bash-2.05$ /usr/local/witbe/sbin/vconfig
Expecting argc to be 3-5, inclusive.  Was: 1

Usage: add             [interface-name] [vlan_id]
      rem             [vlan-name]
      set_flag        [interface-name] [flag-num]       [0 | 1]
      set_egress_map  [vlan-name]      [skb_priority]   [vlan_qos]
      set_ingress_map [vlan-name]      [skb_priority]   [vlan_qos]
      set_name_type   [name-type]

...
* bind-type:  PER_DEVICE  # Allows vlan 5 on eth0 and eth1 to be unique.
             PER_KERNEL  # Forces vlan 5 to be unique across all devices.

But the documentation is lacking information on how to set this :(

Have a look at the source of vconfig should help...

Paul
