VRF and UDP broadcast frames

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Assume I have a network interface assigned to a VRF (wifi AP interface is what I'm testing now).
I would like to have it be able to send and receive UDP broadcast frames.  I am binding the socket
to the AP netdev with SO_BINDTODEVICE.  From what I can tell, the socket at least cannot receive
UDP broadcasts sent to it.  I do see the broadcast arriving on the AP interface if I run tshark.

Is there any particular issue with UDP broadcast sockets in VRF?  Do I have to instead
bind to the vrf netdev instead of the ap netdev?

And always possible I doing something wrong in my socket code, my current test setup
is quite complicated.

Thanks,
Ben
