TAP mode interface drop

L2 Linker

 

Hi. I have a question about TAP deployment

 

I set the TAP mode which I used just one interface, set the zone TAP

Security policy TAP-TAP any any permit.

 

Then, regularly I'm checking the global counter, but I don't know why the drop packet occured.

When I checked first at the 'packet capture' on the firewall, then I could see some packets are dropped.

Some UDP protocl, IP fragmented packets are dropped, and I don't know why this situation happend.

 

Is there anyone why this is events occured?

Help me out for finding answer.

The TAP interface is a 'listening'; interface, this means it does not send packets out, so after receiving and analysing packets, it discards them

As @reaper mentioned this is expected when you are running a TAP interface. It kind of sounds like you may be looking for a Virtual Wire deployment over a TAP deployment. 

No, I just wanted it to know about TAP interface feature. I got the answer from @reaper. Thank you 😄
