https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D231576 Bug ID: 231576 Summary: [RC.CONF(5)] cloned_interfaces improvement Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: pekka.jarvinen@gmail.com CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Hello! man page: cloned_interfaces (str) Set to the list of clonable network interfaces to cre- ate on this host. Further cloning arguments may be passed to the ifconfig(8) create command for each interface by setting the create_args_<interface> variable. If an interface name is specified with ``:sticky'' keyword, the interface will not be destroyed even when rc.d/netif script is invoked with ``stop'' argument. This is useful when reconfiguring the interface without destroying it. Entries in cloned_interfaces are automatically appended to network_interfaces for configuration. Questions not answered: - What it actually does? Repeats packets? Creates some kind of dummy device? - When I (don't) need it? - Security implications? - Performance implications? if_bridge uses it but it's not referenced. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
