In dual_mac mode packets arrived on one port should not be forwarded by switch hw to another port. Only Linux Host can forward packets between ports. The below test case (reported in [1]) shows that packet arrived on one port can be leaked to anoter (reproducible with dual port evms): - connect port 1 (eth0) to linux Host 0 and run tcpdump or Wireshark - connect port 2 (eth1) to linux Host 1 with vlan 1 configured - ping <IPx> from Host 1 through vlan 1 interface. ARP packets will be seen on Host 0. Issue happens because dual_mac mode is implemnted using two vlans: 1 (Port 1+Port 0) and 2 (Port 2+Port 0), so there are vlan records created for for each vlan. By default, the ALE will find valid vlan record in its table when vlan 1 tagged packet arrived on Port 2 and so forwards packet to all ports which are vlan 1 members (like Port. To avoid such behaviorr the ALE VLAN ID Ingress Check need to be enabled for each external CPSW port (ALE_PORTCTLn.VID_INGRESS_CHECK) so ALE will drop ingress packets if Rx port is not VLAN member.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
