Hi, I noticed that *something has changed* regarding vlan creation since 8.0-rel and 7.1-rel, compared to 8.1-rel / 7-stable
When creating a vlan under 8.1-rel (csup'ed the sources yesterday), the box looses all connectivity I'm using the following cards: e...@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x10d315d9 chip=0x10d38086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller (82574L)' I was used to create my vlan with the following (works on 8.0 and 7.1): ifconfig vlan0 create ifconfig vlan0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 vlan 1234 vlandev em0 <connectivity lost> Now I don't have the proper knowledge to say *what* changed and *why*, but I did manage to find a possible fix (with a little inspiration, thanks Darius) At some point, I realized the kernel wasn't panic'ing, since my 'sleep 200 && reboot &' command, issued before the ifconfig, was executed, and the box was indeed rebooting after 200 secs ... Bottom line, is we realized a simple "ifconfig em0 down" than "ifconfig em0 up" would fix the issue ! So i made a simple script for /usr/local/etc/rc.d/000.vlan.sh enclosed below I'm still wondering if there isn't a cleaner way to do this via rc.conf ... But at least, it's a working fix-of-the-poor Home this can still help someone Ps: sorry if this is the wrong place to post this info, that's my very first humble contribution Rud. 000.vlan.sh : ----- #!/bin/sh ip=10.0.0.1 mask=255.0.0.0 vlanid=1234 vlandev=vlan0 cloneddevice=em0 case $1 in start) log=/var/log/vlan.log touch $log ifconfig $vlandev create >> $log ifconfig $vlandev $ip netmask $mask vlan $vlanid vlandev $cloneddevice >> $log ifconfig $cloneddevice down >> $log ifconfig $cloneddevice up >> $log # for debug ... # mv /usr/local/etc/rc.d/000.vlan.sh /root/000.vlan.sh && sleep 800 && reboot & ;; stop) ;; esac _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
