Subject: Re: Quickly creating VLANs?


  Works for me, but if you put in the 'inet' if breaks.
  
  # ifconfig vlan600 create vlan 600 vlandev fxp1 inet 10.20.0.1/24
  ifconfig: inet: bad value
  
  
  man ifconfig:
    Since an interface can receive transmissions in differing
    protocols with different naming schemes, specifying the
    address family is recommended.
  
  either needs to be revised to:
    except when creating a vlan, 'cause that causes sh*t to break
  
  or, the ifconfig command needs to accept 'inet' when creating a vlan.
  
  
  Is inet inherited from the 'vlandev' and therefore redundant?
