The follwing always worked for me, no need to rename: cloned_interfaces="vlan1" ifconfig_vlan1="inet 1.2.3.4/29 vlan 1 vlandev fxp0" What doesn't work is this: ifconfig_vlan1_alias0="1.2.3.4/32" I had to configure them by a selfdone script. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
