Hi people,

after long fiddling, now it works. FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE, Cat 2940XL

Working rc.conf fragment *now* looks this way:

--- 8< ---

network_interfaces="lo0 fxp0 fxp1 vlan0 vlan1 vlan2 vlan3 vlan4 vlan5"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0"

# fxp0 - "internal" trunk

ifconfig_fxp0="media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex link0 up"
ifconfig_vlan0="inet 10.99.25.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 25 \
    vlandev fxp0 mtu 1500 up arp"
ifconfig_vlan1="inet 10.99.23.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 23 \
    vlandev fxp0 mtu 1500 up arp"
ifconfig_vlan2="inet 10.100.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 2 \
    vlandev fxp0 mtu 1500 up arp"

# fxp1 - "external" trunk

ifconfig_fxp1="media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex link0 up"
ifconfig_vlan3="inet 17.33.33.61 netmask 255.255.255.252 vlan 3 \
    vlandev fxp1 mtu 1500 up arp"
ifconfig_vlan4="inet 12.44.44.30 netmask 255.255.255.252 vlan 4 \
    vlandev fxp1 mtu 1500 up arp"
ifconfig_vlan5="inet 95.55.55.22 netmask 255.255.255.248 vlan 5 \
    vlandev fxp1 mtu 1500 up arp"

--- 8< ---

The problem is: as soon as I say "link0" in ifconfigs for vlanXX
interfaces, is just plain doesn't work. Catalyst doesn't see even a
mac-addresses for vlanXX interfaces.

Another problem is: as soon as I remove "link0" from ifconfigs for
"carrier" interfaces fxp0 and fxp1 - again it doesn't work.

Am I a single person who encounter the same problem? What I'm doing wrong?
If this *is* a bug (not just stupidity of mine of bad documentation) - how
can I help to correct it?


WBR,
Andrew

P.S. There is no if_ef pseudo-device in the running kernel. There is a
line
	pseudo-device vlan 8

in config. The box is Supermicro 1U server, 1
P-III CPU (of 2 possible), ServerWorks chipset, 2 onboard fxp interfaces.

P.P.S. Also I can't "see" Catalyst "own" IP (seen at `sh in vlan1') after
I do:
ifconfig vlan6 inet 10.100.200.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 1 \
  vlandev fxp0 mtu 1500 up arp
