RTEMS Network Stack and Managed Switch

[Richard.Glossop at L3Harris.com]

We have discovered a problem with the RTEMS network stack reaching the RTEMS _Terminate function when the interfaces are attached to a managed switch (in this case a Cisco 3560).

This does not occur with direct connections or when attached to a layer 2 unmanaged switch (NetGear or SMC).  Of course the 3560 puts out a lot of traffic that a layer 2 switch does not (spanning tree, CDP etc....)

So it seems the managed switch is putting out traffic that is bringing RTEMS down.

Has anyone seen this behavior?  Have you determined the root cause?


I set a break point and caught the following backtrace:
