VLAN 0 from tcpdump

Hello Team,

 

I have seen VLAN 0 and I don't see anything in my configuration that I use vlan 0, however it doesn't show any match VS .I am running BIG-IP 11.5.1 Build 4.0.128 Hotfix HF4 .

 

from tcp dump using this command :

 

tcpdump -s0 -nvepi 0.0 dst host 10.1.0.55 and host 10.18.0.7 -s0

Do you know what is vlan 0 ?

 

  • Specifying interface 0.0 when running tcpdump captures traffic traversing all configured VLANs on the BIG-IP system. That is why you see VLAN 0.

      So vlan 0 is nothing serious or nothing to check .

       

      0.0 is from all interfaces , right ?

      interface 0.0 catches all traffic between the switch board and the tmm, from what I understand but I cannot find a specific on this now. That is how it differs from '-i any'

       

      nothing to worry about bro.
