https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D276197 Bug ID: 276197 Summary: bsdconfig - network interfaces not set up correctly, eventhough "active" is shown by ifconfig Product: Base System Version: 13.2-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: peter.chen.devs@gmail.com Environment: FreeBSD version: 13.2-RELEASE hardware: Raspberry Pi 400 ethernet cable: cat 5e Bug Description: In ifconfig(8), the "status" shows the current status of a link. However,= it is possible that the status shows "active" but the link is not working (can= 't ping ip address) after setting up network interface using bsdconfig(8). Steps to Reproduce Bug: 1. In bsdconfig(8) > Networking Management > Network Interfaces > <link_n= ame> > options=20 2. Select "media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master instance 1" and br= ing up interface during confirmation. This option is not supported by Raspberry= Pi 400, so when you exit the bsdconfig(8) and type ifconfig(8), the status of <link_name> shows "no carrier". 3. Repeat step 1 but choose "media 100baseTX" option and bring up interfa= ce during confirmation. 4. Exit the bsdconfig(8) and use ifconfig(8) to show network interface in= fo, the status of <link_name> becomes "active". However, when you try to ping o= ther IP addresses (such as 192.168.0.1), it shows "no route to host". 5. Use service(8) with command "#service netif restart" to restart netif,= the ifconfig(8) shows the link as "active", now you are able to ping other ip addresses and connect to other hosts. Expected Result: The network interface should be set up correctly by bsdconfig(8). I'm not sure if the "active" status by ifconfig(8) is shown correctly or not, but t= he inconsistency makes network debugging quite painful. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
