Hi All,
We trying to disable VLAN filter on Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit Ethernet controller using ethtool without modifying the driver code.
We can able to disable successfully in the following OS and the ixgbe driver version.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.1 (Maipo)
Kernel : 3.10.0-229.20.1.el7.x86_64
Ixgbe driver version : 4.0.1-k-rh7.1
[root@compute05 src]#ethtool -k enp9s0f0
rx-vlan-offload: on
tx-vlan-offload: on
ntuple-filters: off
receive-hashing: on
highdma: on [fixed]
rx-vlan-filter: off
vlan-challenged: off [fixed]
[root@compute05 src]#ethtool -K enp9s0f0 rx-vlan-filter off
But we cant able to do the same on the new ixgbe driver version. We observed rx-vlan-filter as fixed.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.1 (Maipo)
Kernel : 3.10.0-229.20.1.el7.x86_64
Ixgbe driver version: 4.3.13
[root@compute05 src]#ethtool -k enp9s0f0
Features for enp9s0f0:
rx-vlan-offload: on
tx-vlan-offload: on
ntuple-filters: off
receive-hashing: on
highdma: on [fixed]
rx-vlan-filter: on [fixed]
vlan-challenged: off [fixed]
[root@compute05 src]# ethtool -K enp9s0f0 rx-vlan-filter off
Could not change any device features
Any idea how to overcome this issue?
If any more information needed please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
