Hi,

I have noticed net graph has issues with device that have a period in their 
name. Either that is the case or something similar.

I couldn’t enable netflow on lagg0.X devices and I also couldn’t use some of 
mpd's features(such as LAC) either. I believe there were other examples but 
those are the two that came to mind and they both use net graph - I couldn’t 
work out why things would work on em0 or lagg0 but not on em0.X or lagg0.X and 
as i did some trawling through logs I saw something which suggested an issue 
with the names so I changed all my sub interfaces into “vlan” interfaces and I 
was able to get full functionality in MPD and with net graph netflow.

Now that I have made the change, I would also say it is a much more manageable 
way of doing things as well.

yes netgraph uses '.' for a special meaning.. I'm surprised that we don't translate it into '_' or something.

hi,

is there any advantage of using vlanXXX vs ifXX.YY notation?

I mean

ifconfig em0
vlan777: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
       ether 00:1b:b9:8b:ca:33
...
       vlan: 777 parent interface: em0

vs

em0.555: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
       ether 00:1b:b9:8b:ca:33
...
       vlan: 555 parent interface: em0
