Hi all.we have OEL 5.5 with Unbreakable kernel and we are getting  (not all the time) an error from the ixgbe driver as follow:
ixgbe_spoof_check: -1 Spoofed packets detected
ixgbe_spoof_check: -1 Spoofed packets detected
ixgbe_spoof_check: -1 Spoofed packets detected
ixgbe_spoof_check: -1 Spoofed packets detected
ixgbe_spoof_check: -1 Spoofed packets detected
.
.
.

Now in the ixgbe release note it is mentioned that the driver react this way when it detect a spoof packet and it's ok but we keep getting this warn every second and we can't actually get in to the server then we have to reboot it.

Howdy, Stranger!
