FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE
>Description:
I have a machine with a vlan interface created with the
following rc.conf entries:
cloned_interfaces="vlan4"
ifconfig_vlan4="vlan 4 vlandev fxp0"
this vlan interface has to do dhcp for it's ip
address, however I can't do :
cloned_interfaces="vlan4"
ifconfig_vlan4="DCHP"
because that leaves the vlandev is un-configured.
>How-To-Repeat:
not aplicable
>Fix:
don't empty dhcp_interfaces in rc.network line 194
( dhcp_interfaces="" ) which enables the following setup :
cloned_interfaces="vlan4"
ifconfig_vlan4="vlan 4 vlandev fxp0"
dhcp_interfaces="vlan4"
Which makes sense because you can specify network, ipv6_network
and gif interfaces in rc.conf as well. This change makes dhcp
possible on interfaces that need ifconfigging before they
are dhcp ready. I think that this is a better solution than
using /etc/start_if.${ifn} scripts because it keeps the config
in rc.conf where it belongs. I also don't see why the emptying
of dhcp_interfaces in rc.network is needed.
