Hi all. I have "frr8-8.5.1_1" installed on 13.2-RELEASE. I'm trying to get IS-IS to start and talk to a Cisco router on the side. However, it complains about the BPF buffer length only being 4,096 bytes long, since I am running Jumbo frames on all interfaces: 2023/03/31 07:12:01 ISIS: [WDVAD-TY6HY] ISIS-LFA: failed to unregister RLFA with LDP 2023/03/31 07:12:01 ISIS: [WDVAD-TY6HY] ISIS-LFA: failed to unregister RLFA with LDP 2023/03/31 07:12:01 ISIS: [WDVAD-TY6HY] ISIS-LFA: failed to unregister RLFA with LDP 2023/03/31 07:12:01 ISIS: [YDRGH-0DJ94] Opened BPF device /dev/bpf0 2023/03/31 07:12:01 ISIS: [QJWNQ-3FFKM] BPF buffer len = 4096 2023/03/31 07:12:01 ISIS: [V3AHD-XE2Z5] failed to set BPF buffer len (4096 to 9000) 2023/03/31 07:12:01 ISIS: [W02G1-H56T1] IS-IS bpf: could not transmit packet on em0: Input/output error 2023/03/31 07:12:01 ISIS: [G7ZA5-AT06A][EC 67108865] ISIS-Adj (1): Send L2 IIH on em0 failed 2023/03/31 07:12:04 ISIS: [W02G1-H56T1] IS-IS bpf: could not transmit packet on em0: Input/output error 2023/03/31 07:12:04 ISIS: [G7ZA5-AT06A][EC 67108865] ISIS-Adj (1): Send L2 IIH on em0 failed 2023/03/31 07:12:07 ISIS: [W02G1-H56T1] IS-IS bpf: could not transmit packet on em0: Input/output error 2023/03/31 07:12:07 ISIS: [G7ZA5-AT06A][EC 67108865] ISIS-Adj (1): Send L2 IIH on em0 failed I updated "/etc/sysctl.conf" to bump it to 9,000 bytes, and the complaint goes away.

Grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to deal with this, as it appears to be unique to FreeBSD. Thanks. Mark.
