Further cloning arguments may be passed to the ifconfig(8) create command for each interface by setting the create_args_ variable. If an interface name is specified with ``:sticky'' keyword, the interface will not be destroyed even when rc.d/netif script is invoked with ``stop'' argument. This is useful when reconfiguring the interface without destroying it. Entries in cloned_interfaces are automatically appended to network_interfaces for configuration. Questions not answered: - What it actually does? Repeats packets? Creates some kind of dummy device? - When I (don't) need it? - Security implications? - Performance implications? if_bridge uses it but it's not referenced. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
