You can verify the incoming traffic to see if they have VLAN tags by using tcpdump with the -e and vlan option. This will show the details of the VLAN header: # tcpdump -i bond0 -nn -e vlan To capture the issue live. Or # tcpdump -i eno1 -nn -e vlan -w /tmp/vlan.pcap To write to the capture to a file.
Tcpdump For Mac
The -D flag will not be supported if tcpdump was built with an older version of libpcap that lacks the pcapfindalldevs(3PCAP) function.e Print the link-level header on each dump line. This can be used, for example, to print MAC layer addresses for protocols such as Ethernet and IEEE 802.11. Older versions of tcpdump truncate packets to 68 or 96 bytes. If this is the case, use -s to capture full-sized packets: $ tcpdump -i -s 65535 -w You will have to specify the correct interface and the name of a file to save into. In addition, you will have to terminate the capture with ^C when you believe you have captured. Tcpdump -w net75.out -s 0 net 65.192.0.0/10 man pcap-filter(7) dst net net True if the IPv4/v6 destination address of the packet has a net- work number of net. Net may be either a name from the networks database (/etc/networks, etc.) or a network number. This is the official web site of tcpdump, a powerful command-line packet analyzer; and libpcap, a portable C/C library for network traffic capture. In this page, you'll find the latest stable version of tcpdump and libpcap, as well as current development snapshots, a complete documentation, and information about how to report bugs.
What is tcpdump?
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a communication standard that devices use to talk establish communications between each other. The communication then takes place in packets. Normally a lot of the communication between devices is hidden away from us humans as we don’t need to see our computer ask a DNS server for the IP address for a website URL, then the sending of a GET command to the website IP etc.. when we load a webpage in our web browser.
tcpdump is a network packet analyser, which lets you see the conversation packets.
Installing tcpdump
When I tried to use the tcpdump command on Raspbian I got the message the command was not found. This is fixed with sudo apt-get install tcpdump.

tcpdump Commands
Note: You may need to use sudo before the commands if your user doesn’t have permission.
tcpdump starts tcpdump running, but be prepared for a flood of information if you run tcpdump without any arguments.
If you have multiple network interfaces (perhaps ethernet and wireless) then the -i command can be used to limit the packet dump to a specific port e.g. -i eth0 for the ethernet port, or tcpdump can be specifically told to listen to any port using -i any.
tcpdump -D can be used to view the interfaces available to tcpdump.
As the above screen grab shows, there may be more interfaces than you expect. If you know which interface your communication is taking place over then I would recommend limiting the packet dump to that interface.
With an interface selected (wlan0 aka my wireless adapter), the traffic selection can be limited further by telling tcpdump to watch traffic from a particular host.

In the above example tcpdump is listening on wlan0 for traffic from 192.168.0.1
If you do not know where the traffic is coming from, then you could limit the analysis to a particular port.
tcpdump -i wlan0 port 80 tells tcpdump to listen on my Pi’s wireless adaptor for traffic on port 80. The host and port options can both be used together to refine the analysis even further. This done by using the boolean “and” word.
tcpdump also supports the boolean “or” and “not” words.
Even with arguments to limit which traffic is analysed you may still get a lot of packets streaming past, which is why tcpdump has an option to save the details to a file using tcpdump -w FILENAME.pcap , replacing FILENAME with an appropriate name. The pcap file format can be open and examined in a program such as Wireshark (https://www.wireshark.org).

When using the -w argument you may want to limit how many packets you capture. This is accomplished using the -c argument. -c 100 will tell tcpdump to capture 100 packets.
