Forward Invalid, horrible problem lots of packets

Hi, I have horribleproblem with forward invalid packets, and I cant cope with it.

Clients are nervous and I understand them.

Cut of the log ( chain drop, state invalid, action log )

and there is thousands of it, and I heave no idea what can it be.

Clients are connected to juniper ex3300, and to juniper is connected dell esxi hypervisor with two guests. GBP router and it seems to be alright, and nat/pppoe server

ESXi 5.1 update 1
vmnics are all e1000, ROS cant even see vmxnet3 ( or 2 )

4 vCPU, 2Gig of ram for each vm.

In some time i’ll move to proxmox with host but first I have to solve the problem.

Had anybody such problem or know how to cope with it?

What is your bridge config? Is NAT configured?

Hi, thanks for reply, sorry for delay, new year ect :wink:

on the br is only ethernet port ( because only on br firewall I could drop unknown DHCP asks from a few MAC Addr. )

problem seems to be with NATed and unNATed clients
