[OmniOS-discuss] 10Gb nic (ixgbe), bridge and errors on the linux side

[Shvayakov Alexander]

Hi,

My two linux servers are connected with 10Gb cards and crossover cables
to the OmniOS storadge-server (nfs).

I need to use one common IP-address for the storage-server, and I wanted
to use the bridge for it.

dladm rename-link ixgbe0 stornet0
dladm rename-link ixgbe1 stornet1
ipadm create-if stornet0
ipadm create-if stornet1
dladm create-bridge stor
ipadm create-addr -T static -a 10.6.20.1/24 stornet0/v4
dladm add-bridge -l stornet0 -l stornet1 stor

dladm show-bridge -l stor
LINK        STATE       UPTIME  DESROOT
stornet0    forwarding  5645    32768/0:25:90:4f:b4:86
stornet1    forwarding  2638    32768/0:25:90:4f:b4:86



I don't understand why I see the errors on the interface at my Linux
servers if I add the link in the bridge on the storage-server.

ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:25:90:88:14:A5 
          inet6 addr: fe80::225:90ff:fe88:14a5/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:9000  Metric:1
          RX packets:14719290 errors:3124 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:3124
          TX packets:10675324 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:10000
          RX bytes:28065073096 (26.1 GiB)  TX bytes:38819311063 (36.1 GiB)


Is this normal?
Did I chose the wrong solution?
 
And I don't see these errors without the bridge.
