I'm running into an interesting issue, and I was curious if anyone else has ran into it.

I can run the DNA drivers and be able to pull traffic into Snort/TCPDUMP without an issue, but if I try to run the PF_RING Aware Drivers for my ixgbe card I get no traffic. I'm pretty sure it is to do with VLAN tagging, I just haven't been able to figure out what exactly. I've tried using ethtool to disable 'rxvlan' but it isn't able to make the changes.

Has anyone else ran into this? I really don't want to have to make a tagged interface for each VLAN, and the DNA drivers won't work for us since we'll be pushing out to multiple IDS applications, and only one application can exist on a queue, although I may just be misunderstanding how the DNA drivers work.

Here's some output from ethtool:

#ifconfig p1p1

Could not change any device features

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks
