Dear all,
Today I removed all aliases on my internal NIC and loopback, which
resulted in losing the primary ip-address. What am I missing!
rc.conf
ifconfig_xl0="inet 172.17.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_xl0_alias0="inet 172.17.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_xl0_alias1="inet 172.17.2.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_xl0_alias2="inet 172.17.2.5 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 127.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0"
ifconfig_lo0_alias1="inet 127.0.0.3 netmask 255.0.0.0"
# ifconfig xl0 alias 172.17.2.3 delete
# ifconfig xl0 alias 172.17.2.4 delete
# ifconfig xl0 alias 172.17.2.5 delete
# ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.2 delete
# ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.3 delete
# ifconfig
