Hi All,
When describing the "alias" parameter ifconfig manpage claims that "If
the address is on the same subnet as the first network address for this
interface, a non-conflicting netmask must be given. Usually 0x
is most appropriate."
Taking into account that FreeBSD supports aliase

Are there any drawbacks in setting aliases like this:

instead of traditional:
ifconfig em0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xff00
First of all, are you encountering any issues ?
There is an outstanding issue with the address alias and improper routing

I have a handful of systems running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. An occaisional
fat-finger in /etc/fstab may cause one to end up in single-user mode
from time to time. This would normally not be a problem, but some of
these systems have a LOM (lights-out management) controller which shares
the system

Well, for the last 14+ years I used to setup aliases with 0x netmask and
everything worked OK. However recently I encountered situation where
0x-style alias triggered some unwanted network behavior.
When one set

I use pf+ALTQ to achieve some pretty decent traffic shaping results at home.
However, recently signed up to be part of an IPv6 trial with my ISP, and
they've given me a second (dual-stacked) PPPoE login with which to test
with. The problem is that the second login lacks my static IP or my routed

Darn, I have to correct myself once again.
