From: "John C. Archambeau" To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, jca@lvcm.com Cc: bp@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: kern/38095: vlan not supported with fxp Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2002 12:20:09 -0700 The issue manifests itself when ifef is configured in the kernel. If ifef is disabled, VLAN support functions. ifef should be rewriten to bind itself to a particular vlan or physical interface and not all ethernet interfaces available at kernel startup as parameters in /etc/rc.conf or manually through ifconfig. Ideally ifef should allow the system administrator to choose what types of frame types should be supported at runtime in /etc/rc.conf and via ifconfig and not kernel configuration and compile time. There is also the possibility that IPXrouted will also need to be rewritten to be vlan aware as well as not send IPX RIP/SAPs through all ethernet interfaces.
