How to disable vlan strip ?

[rshal2]

Hello,

I am using intel igb driver with linux.

The driver strip the packet from vlan and this is not what we need.

We must have the vlan information.

How can we disable this vlan stripping ?

I've seen that there are many who had the same issue, but did not see any solution for that.

Please advise.

Regards,

Ran

Hi Ran,

Thank you for contacting Intel. You can configure the adapter to allow VLAN tag to pass thru Windows* Registry Settings. Please refer to website below for details: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005498.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products/000005498.htmlHope this is helpful.Sincerely, Sandy

Hi Sandy,

Thank you for the reply.

As I wrote in the post above, we are using Linux - not windows.

So we need a solution for the igb driver in Linux.

I assume it will be in sort of ethtool feature enable/disable or driver rebuild using other flags.

We delved into the driver and found no solution yet.

We also found this question already been raised by others in several mailing forums, but no answer been given yet.

Regards,
