Agreed. I noticed this issue, too, but forgot about it later. Would you mind filing a PR with me in Cc so that I won't forget about it again? Can't promise making the order arbitrary, but documenting this subtlety is a must. > Also, you can't set both the vlan and IP address information: > leeloo# ifconfig vlan14 vlan 14 vlandev fxp0 inet W.X.Y.Z netmask > 255.255.255.0 > ifconfig: inet: bad value > > As a result of this, the only way to create vlans from rc.conf seems to > be in two stages, by renaming the interface: > > cloned_interfaces="vlan14" > ifconfig_vlan14="vlan 14 vlandev fxp0 name somename" > ifconfig_somename="inet W.X.Y.Z netmask 255.255.255.0" Just use: ifconfig_vlan14="inet W.X.Y.Z netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 14 vlandev fxp0" This is what ifconfig(8) manpage tells in the syntax section: the address should precede other parameters. -- Yar _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
