do you set forwarding via just /etc/sysctl.conf or in /etc/rc.conf via
ipv6_gateway_enable and gateway_enable. I seem to recall some discussion
about there being a difference. Perhaps devd is calling something that
then fiddles with the setting ignoring whats in sysctl.conf ?
That seems to be what is happening.
In the earlier post, I was just setting the three sysctls in
/etc/sysctl.conf - and observed that forwarding went away if an
interface was added.
Doing it by setting fastforwarding only in sysctl.conf, and setting both
gateway_enables to yes in rc.conf fixes the problem:
[root@test1 ~]# sysctl -a | grep forwarding
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding: 1
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding: 1
[root@test1 ~]# ifconfig vlan1 create
[root@test1 ~]# sysctl -a | grep forwarding
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1
net.inet.ip.fastforwarding: 1
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding: 1
That's quite ... odd, to sat the least. I can't see anything in
devd.conf which would relate to a new interface being created, but that
doesn't mean that there isn't some magic functionality in there.
