I was wondering if there was a way to cleanly configure networking without using rc.conf but only ifconfig and other utilities
This is what I mean: let's suppose that I have a complex network configuration to launch on my machine, for example: - many physical nics (with different speed, mtu, duplex...) - many aliases on them - many vlans - many carped interfaces - ng_fec - ... What I ask is: can I, set up networking in a way that is equivalent to creating the configuration in /etc/rc.conf and then using "/etc/rc.d/netif restart" ? I know how to set up the example configuration above, what I don't know is if I can do that cleanly, that is, cleaning the state of all interfaces, truncating vlans, etc., and then creating them again with ifconfig, ngctl, etc. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
