I have read all mails in this and the other thread's mails and I am still puzzled by the wording: > The documentation has had this warning for a long time: “If the bridge host needs an IP address, set it on the bridge interface, not on the member interfaces.“ Das "member interfaces" *include* or *exclude* the corresponding epair0b part? In https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/jails/#creating-vnet-jail I do find: | exec.start += "/sbin/ifconfig ${epair}b ${ip} up"; I am following that document's way in setting up VNET jails, but I am still uncertain if the upcoming changes will allow that regarding ${epair}b?
