Hi,
I hope someone can help me, I cannot seem to get a system's ethernet
interface to correctly work in promiscuous mode...
I have a Centos 6.4 system with 2 bnx2 interfaces on it.
I have set up eth1 in promiscuous mode and am sending traffic to it
using the port mirroring configuration on a Nortel 3510-24T switch.
The switch reports that it is sending a fair amount of traffic to the
mirror port.
However, within Centos 6.4, I only see broadcast traffic from the
switch:
[root@host eth1]# ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:B9:E2:30:AE
UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:75 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:4800 (4.6 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
I have tried various options configuring eth1 via
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1
Currently it looks like this:
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:19:B9:E2:30:AE
#NM_CONTROLLED=no
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
#UUID="e753ec9b-fc35-4460-bcd1-87f26f8d1553"
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no
PROMISC=yes
I have also tried to manually put the interface in promiscuous mode (as
I think PROMISC=yes is deprecated):
ifconfig eth1 promisc
It shows as being in promiscuous mode via ifconfig...
The relevant parks of bootup / system messages:

Does anyone have any ideas?
