Hi,
I've just cvsed up and made world to freebsd 4.7 stable, without a hitch.
However when I rebooted my machine the vpn tunnel which it was running
wouldnt come back up. After a while of checking configs and poking around I
found it was because the gif interfaces were cinfigured and not up. A simple
ifconfig gif0 up fixed this. I have never had to do this before as when I
have created gif interfaces the device was automatically up, this doesnt
seem to be the case anymore. Is this a new feature or a bug?
example
root on gateway# ifconfig gif3
ifconfig: interface gif3 does not exist
root on gateway# ifconfig gif3 create tunnel 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8
root on gateway# ifconfig gif3 inet 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 netmask
255.255.255.252
root on gateway# ifconfig gif3
gif3: flags=8050<POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
tunnel inet 1.2.3.4 --> 5.6.7.8
inet 192.168.0.1 --> 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xfffffffc
root on gateway# ifconfig gif3 up
root on gateway# ifconfig gif3
gif3: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
tunnel inet 1.2.3.4 --> 5.6.7.8
inet 192.168.0.1 --> 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xfffffffc
root on gateway#
