bpi-r3 eth1 dropping packets

gustavobsch opened this issue · 5 comments

Hi,

I'm running 6.2 kernel so I can use VLAN on the eth1 Fiber SFP and I'm observing a lot of packets getting dropped. Only the received ones. The SFP and Fiber were moved from another router that it was working just fine. So I don't think it's the tranceiver or fiber cable.

Has anyone else seen similar behavior on the bpi-r3?

Thanks!

I'm still doing basic tests and noticed that vlan aware bridge is not working on mt7531.

Only did ping tests with latest patches (series from felix). Have not yet seen packet drops.

Btw. I'm alone here,it will be better posting such questions in bananapi forum

Thank you Frank, for now I will use another port for trunking. I realize this is a new board

did a quick test using my H!fibre 1G SFP and kernel 6.2.0-rc1-bpi-r3:

not very good throughput, but also no retransmitts and no error/dropped packets.

i see you have no rx_flow_control_packets...maybe your other side/switch needs to enable pause??

I did try enabling flow control on the other side, I also tried a different device and get the same result, lots of dropped packets. For now I will not use the SFP1
