tcpbridge does not seem to work with PF_RING's libpcap

[morphyno]

Hi:

I have downloaded 4.0.4 with the latest PF_RING changes from the repo on configure and configure.a (patch #88 )

My goal is to compile and tcpbridge using the libpcap included in the PF_RING distribution.

I was able to configure and make tcpreplay and tools using the following configure line

./configure --with-libpcap=/home/devuser/Documents/PF_RING/userland/libpcap-1.1.1-ring/ --with-tcpdump=/home/devuser/Documents/PF_RING/userland/tcpdump-4.1.1 --with-libdnet=/usr/local/lib/

However, when I attempted to run tcpbridge, I get the following error

sudo src/tcpbridge -i eth1 -I eth3 -u Warning: Unable to get MAC address: Error: sendpacket_get_hwaddr() not yet supported for pcap injection

Fatal Error: Please consult the man page for using the -M option.

If i compile tcpreplay with standard libpcap, I don't have this issue.

Would this be a PF_RING or a tcpreplay bug?

I'll have a look. If it is a PF_RING issue I'll report it to Luca Deri.

I cannot understand why this didn't work. Can you send me the failing config.log?

Hi Fred:

I have attached the config.log and configure stdout.

I'm using tcpreplay 4.0.4 but with the git repo's latest "configure" and " configure.ac"

Thanks

It seems to work fine when I cloned it from git hub. The problem is, my development system is centOS 6.5. There's just too many dependencies involved with autogen 5.16, I can only download the official release and patch in the deltas. Did the PF_RING libpcap fix touched any other files in addition to configure and configure.ac?

[fklassen]

Yes, it is unfortunate that the author of autogen made it so version dependent. If you clone from github you need to have autogen 5.16.2. We always suggest that unless you are a Tcpreplay developer, download our distributed source. That way you don't need autogen installed.

In this case I suggest getting our 4.0.5 Beta1 pre-release. Note that I plan to have a Beta 2 available soon (today or tomorrow). Either way, PF_RING is supported with syntax similar to ...

./configure --with-libpcap=/home/fklassen/git/PF_RING/userland/libpcap
make

Final note. Today I got confirmation from Luca Deri that he has assigned someone to do some testing of Tcpreplay with PF_RING. I hope to hear the results soon.

[morphyno]

I was wrong, when I tried configuring it with PF_RING libpcap using the latest tcpreplay (git) on my ubuntu VM, the linking failed as well

[fklassen]

Please provide an error message. I have another report of a PF_RING issue and I want to see if you are having a similar issue.

[morphyno]

I just tried this on tcpreplay 4.0.5 beta 3 and now building with PF_RING libpcap works fine. I've attached this config.log. This issue can be closed

Glad to hear that this got fixed for 4.0.5.
