I need some help configure DHCP on my bridge. I'm pretty much out of ideas, so I'd be grateful for any help.
On boot, I want my FreeBSD install to create a bridge, add a couple of interfaces to it (re0 and tap0), and they receive an IP address via DHCP. Here are the relevant lines in rc.conf: cloned_interfaces="bridge0" autobridge_interfaces="bridge0" autobridge_bridge0="tap* re0" ifconfig_re0="up" ifconfig_bridge0="up" ifconfig_bridge0="DHCP" Whilst my system is booting I see this: "Waiting 30s for the default route interface" When that message is being display I can also see output similar to ifconfig's. I can see that both bridge0 and re0 are up. I can also see that re0 has a status or "no carrier". I'm not sure if that is significant or not. If I look at dmesg, "re0: link state changed to UP" is right at the bottom and ifconfig displays something similar to this: re0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=3898<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC> ether 00:1c:c0:de:9d:39 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active plip0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 bridge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 76:15:56:05:de:63 id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20 holdcnt 6 proto rstp maxaddr 100 timeout 1200 root id 00:00:00:00:00:00 priority 32768 ifcost 0 port 0 member: re0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 1 priority 128 path cost 20000 member: tap0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP> ifmaxaddr 0 port 5 priority 128 path cost 2000000 tap0: flags=8942<BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:bd:a0:b1:00:00 Opened by PID 1027 -- Paul Grave email: mailto:p...@stomer.net _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
