Bug ID: 231576
Summary: [RC.CONF(5)] cloned_interfaces improvement
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: pekka.jarvi...@gmail.com
CC: d...@freebsd.org
Hello!
man page:
cloned_interfaces
(str) Set to the list of clonable network interfaces to cre-
ate on this host. Further cloning arguments may be passed to
the ifconfig(8) create command for each interface by setting
the create_args_<interface> variable. If an interface name
is specified with ``:sticky'' keyword, the interface will not
be destroyed even when rc.d/netif script is invoked with
``stop'' argument. This is useful when reconfiguring the
interface without destroying it. Entries in
cloned_interfaces are automatically appended to
network_interfaces for configuration.
Questions not answered:
- What it actually does? Repeats packets? Creates some kind of dummy device?
- When I (don't) need it?
- Security implications?
- Performance implications?
if_bridge uses it but it's not referenced.
