CRS317 hw offload bridge and broadcast traffic on CPU

Sat Nov 24, 2018 3:52 pm

I use a bridge with a group of all 17 ports for vlans transit.
For CRS317 itself i have a management vlan and 1 IP address on it.

My customers traffic is mostly PPPoE, and it's OK. I can't see it with Torch because this traffic is processed on the Marvell packets controller.

But in FP RX column in Interfaces table i see transit broadcast packets in rented l2 vlans of corporate clients.
For example: PPPoE PADI, ARP who has, LBD 0x9000, bootpc.

As far as I understand, broadcast traffic from Switch is default redirected on the CPU and its bad for me because there is a way for unexpected issue
with broadcast/multicast storms on clients l2 channels and it will be affect on the CRS317 CPU.
Turning off broadcast-flood option on bridge ports does not limit traffic flood to the CPU.

Is it possible to completely isolate CPU from transit broadcast packets?

Hey there, we are experiencing the same thing on ROS 6.47.1.
Did you ever find the source of this issue?
I suspect a newer ROS has patched it but I'm not certain.
