I have a machine with two interfaces in it - bge0 and beg1. I now
find I need to usse ng_fec to make these into one interface due to
the way out networking contractors are installign a new site.
Seems like no problem from the command line, but what I can't
find anywhere in the documentation is how to make this happen
at boot time using rc.conf. I am assuming my line which
looks like:
ifconfig_em0="inet 172.16.1.6 netmask 255.255.0.0"
becomes
ifconfig_fec0="inet 172.16.1.6 netmask 255.255.0.0"
but obviously I need to do something to create fec0 before
that happens. Preseumably something like cloned_interfaces="fce0",
but where does it get the parameters from to create the interface ?
To run commands before a interface started, you need to create a
/etc/start_if.fec0,
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/ngctl -f- <<-SEQ
mkpeer fec dummy fec
msg fec0: add_iface "bge0"
msg fec0: add_iface "bge1"
msg fec0: set_mode_inet
SEQ
Then add fec0 to the network_interfaces variable in your /etc/rc.conf.
