Hoping someone here might be able to clue me in on what I am seeing. FreeBSD 8.3-STABLE #0 r237184
When creating a if_tun(4) device... ifconfig tun0 create With these line in rc.conf(5) cloned_interfaces="tun0" ifconfig_tun0="metric 100 down" And sysctl net.link.tun.devfs_cloning=0 The resulting tun0 device results in state... tun0: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> metric 100 mtu 1500 After removing the ifconfig_tun0= and running ifconfig create... tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 Why would the device enter a UP/DOWN state if there is no addressing information being fed to it ? and especially with a directive of "down" ? As a workaround I just removed the ifconfig_tun0= and dropped a ifconfig command in rc.local to achieve what I want for the moment. I need this interface created but not in any state unless otherwise manually specified. Thanks -- - (2^(N-1))
