Hi, currently we are expierencing bad network performance. And in the log of a linux-server i have a lot of these messages:
Sep 2 10:16:08 pc60181 kernel: [4286760.823563] br0: received packet on eth0 with own address as source address Sep 2 10:16:08 pc60181 kernel: [4286760.823680] br0: received packet on eth0 with own address as source address Sep 2 10:16:08 pc60181 kernel: [4286760.823770] br0: received packet on eth0 with own address as source address Sep 2 10:16:08 pc60181 kernel: [4286760.823861] br0: received packet on eth0 with own address as source address Sep 2 10:16:08 pc60181 kernel: [4286760.823992] br0: received packet on eth0 with own address as source address Sep 2 10:16:08 pc60181 kernel: [4286760.824130] br0: received packet on eth0 with own address as source address I'd like to capture all packets which have the same MAC-address for sender and destination. But i don't know the MAC which is causing these messages. So i have to use an universal filter. I tried to use "tcpdump 'ether[8:6] = ether[14:6]'". Beginning with byte 8 is the destination MAC and beginning with byte 14 is the source MAC. And each MAC has the size of 6 bytes. But i got this message: "tcpdump: data size must be 1, 2, or 4". Is there a way to capture the desired 6 bytes ? Thanks for any help.
