You can add <shellcmd> tag such as <shellcmd>ifconfig bce0 promisc</shellcmd> above the </system> line. Running tcpdump does nothing other than putting the NIC in promiscuous mode to impact the network stack, pretty much impossible that promisc does something diff than running tcpdump does. > I will see if there are any Dell updates available for the NIC.

I suspect it wouldn't be Dell update related (it's possible there's new firmware though, definitely worth checking), more likely something specific to the bce driver in FreeBSD and what you're doing. I see you're using VLANs, maybe that's related somehow. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
