Hi,
I am getting weird problem with network configuration.
In rc.conf I have (just for demonstation, only part)
ifconfig_em0="polling"
cloned_interfaces="vlan2"
ifconfig_vlan2="vlan 2 vlandev em0"
ifconfig_vlan2_name="em0.2"
Result is incorrect:
em0.2: flags=8003<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
vlan: 0 parent interface: <none>
If I use
ifconfig_em0="polling up"
cloned_interfaces="vlan2"
ifconfig_vlan2="vlan 2 vlandev em0 name em0.2"
Result is correct:
em0.2: flags=8003<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
vlan: 2 parent interface: em0
In the latter case I am getting some
ifconfig: interface vlan2 does not exist
messages in dmesg, which I was trying to avoid.
This was done on 6.3-STABLE cvsupped and rebuilt some hours ago on amd64.
If anybody has an idea (or a patch) I would like to test it. Error messages in
the second case are a bit annoying only, not too bad, but the first config
makes actually interface renaming feature with vlan interface dangerous, as
the resulting configuration does not work as expected.
Regards,
Milan
