Is there any way to create, and assign addresses to a if_vlan

Sorry for the noise...
cloned_interfaces="em6.3"
ifconfig_em6.3="inet x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x"
...seems to be the job.
Almost. '.' isn't a valid character in a shell variable. We support '.' by
converting it into _ in shell variables so it should be:
cloned_interfaces="em6.3"
ifconfig_em6_3="inet x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x"
Thanks Brooks for the feedback.
I was just about to do a reboot with my config before I caught your
message. I'll update the config and run with it.
While perusing the 'net in order to try to find a solution prior to
posting, I came across a couple of other posts (I can't remember if it
was specific to this list) in which the recommendation appeared to be
incorrect for this exact setup I desired (ie: the recommendation failed
miserably).
I'll post back with the results in case anyone else here has been
interested in 'Cisco style' (as I for some reason refer to them as)
sub-ints on FreeBSD.
