I am trying to integrate a firewall in my network, based on 5.2.1.Release and Ipfilter. I actually had everything working, and did something that I think caused my problem. I tried to ssh into my firewall and I accidentally used the wrong interface. Instead of connecting to the NIC connected to the LAN, I tried to connect to the outside interface. Now, somehow there is an option for VLAN when I type ifconfig. Right under the line for rl0 I see this: options=8 What is this, and what does it mean. How do I get rid of it? I tried to do ifconfig rl0 destroy, but that doesn't work. How can I recreate the rl0 interface without the VLAN option? I could really use some help on this one! Any advice is appreciated! TIA Andy
