Hi
I can't figure out how to use rc.conf to configure my interfaces
after these recent charges. My use case is that I have interfaces
to configure but I don't need to put an IP address on them. I do
need to change the MAC address though.
What I have been doing is probably wrong, but it worked up until
r252360:
lagg0: link state changed to DOWN
/etc/rc: WARNING: $ifconfig_lagg0_alias0 needs "inet" keyword for an IPv4 address.
ifconfig: ether: bad value
But, there is no ip address for this interface.
The config looks like:
cloned_interfaces="lagg0 \
vlan2 vlan3 vlan4 vlan5 vlan6 vlan7 vlan8 vlan9 vlan14 vlan15 vlan19 \
vlan20 vlan21 vlan22 vlan23 vlan24 vlan25 vlan26 vlan27 vlan30 \
vlan33 vlan37 vlan39 vlan40 vlan41 vlan44 vlan45 vlan999 \
"
ifconfig_igb0="up"
ifconfig_igb1="up"
ifconfig_igb2="up"
ifconfig_igb3="up"
ifconfig_lagg0="up laggproto lacp laggport igb0 laggport igb1 laggport igb2 laggport igb3"
ifconfig_lagg0_alias0="ether 00:1e:c9:53:3e:15"
# Neotel
ifconfig_vlan2="vlandev lagg0 vlan 2" #should probably be create_args
ifconfig_vlan2_alias0="inet 41.161.56.4/29"
ifconfig_vlan2_alias1="inet 41.154.2.106/29"
ifconfig_vlan2_alias2="inet 196.46.25.156/25"
ifconfig_vlan2_alias3="inet 41.161.56.2/29 vhid 2 pass XXXXXXX advskew 20"
ifconfig_vlan2_alias4="inet 41.154.2.105/29 vhid 2 pass XXXXXXX advskew 20"
ifconfig_vlan2_alias5="inet 196.46.25.155/25 vhid 2 pass XXXXXXX advskew 20"
etc.
I've tried create_args but I still get the following error:
ifconfig: ether: bad value
and, I cannot use ifconfig_lagg0 to set the MAC address because the
rc system just seems to ignore the configured string.
I can however 'ifconfig lagg0 ether 00:1e:c9:53:3e:15' from the
cammand line, so there's something in the rc scripts that's mangling
the argument.
