Hello, I am experimenting with FreeBSD vlan's using the vlans<interface> option in rc.conf, my configuration is as follows: ifconfig_em1="up" vlans_em1="100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110" autobridge_interfaces="bridge0" autobridge_bridge0="em0 em1.*" ifconfig_bridge0="up" rc script create em1.100 - em1.110 but doesn't bring the interfaces up on boot, I have to issue 'ifconfig em1.100 up', etc. to bring them online. I also cannot use 'ifconfig_em1.100="up"' because the rc scripts don't support periods in the variable names. Is there a way to accomplish this? In the mean time, I have had to resort to the following which is very messy (and error prone): ifconfig_em1="up" cloned_interfaces="bridge0 vlan100 vlan101 vlan102 vlan103 vlan104 vlan105 vlan106 vlan107 vlan108 vlan109 vlan110" ifconfig_vlan100="up vlan 100 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan101="up vlan 101 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan102="up vlan 102 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan103="up vlan 103 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan104="up vlan 104 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan105="up vlan 105 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan106="up vlan 106 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan107="up vlan 107 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan108="up vlan 108 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan109="up vlan 109 vlandev em1" ifconfig_vlan110="up vlan 110 vlandev em1" ifconfig_bridge0="up addm em0 addm vlan100 addm vlan101 addm vlan102 addm vlan103 addm vlan104 addm vlan105 addm vlan106 addm vlan107 addm vlan108 addm vlan109 addm vlan110" Any hints? Suggestions? I was trying to avoid using the method listed directly above as it is very messy and error prone. Thanks, -Peter
