Solaris 11.1 release, vlan mtu conectivity problem

CrakeenMay 10 2013 — edited Jul 31 2013
Hi guys Im having conectivity problem with my setup. Im trying to configure my system like this:

1 X86 server with 4 nics 2 bnx and 2 igb conected to HP v1910 switch configured as aggregattion with LACP Active and L2,L3 policy

then I put some vlans over the aggregation VID 101 102 103

and then i put some ip interfaces over each vlan and 1 ip interface on the aggregattion itself.

The thing is , with all configured, everything goes fine, but when i change the mtu of the aggregatiion to something bigger than 1500, i loose conectivity on the vlan interfaces not in the aggrgatted ip.

the courious thing is that when i start capturing packets on the vlan or in the aggregation with snoop (in promiscuous mode or not) everything start to work,, and as soon i stop the capture, all stop working again.

My system info:
