support was removed quite a while ago.
Mention the 'link' address family. Describe the 'active' keyword.
Add examples for adding and activating a link-layer address.
without subsequently doing anything with it, so commit_address()
works with an address with phase == 0. phase == 0 is not allowed,
hence
random84# ifconfig nfe0 atalk 3.14
ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Invalid argument
Solution: copy the new sockaddr_at to a temporary input environment,
and pass that environment to commit_address(). I may as well copy
the new sockaddr_at to the output environment, while I am at it.
only in the AF_UNSPEC/AF_INET/AF_INET6 cases. Maybe this will fix
the AF_APPLETALK problem that is@ reports:
random84# ifconfig nfe0 atalk 3.14
ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Invalid argument
That helps me get rid of some conditional compilation (INET6) in
ifconfig.
Let each protocol/feature-module print its own usage, so that the
ifconfig usage reflects the modules that are actually compiled-in.
Write usage information for carp(4) options.
various address families (inet, inet6, iso, atalk) and protocols
(802.11, 802.3ad, CARP), simply by trimming the list of sources in
the Makefile. This helps one customize ifconfig for an embedded
device or for install media, and it eliminates a lot of grotty
#ifdef'age. Now, the ifconfig syntax and semantics are finalized
at run-time using the constructor routines in each address-family/protocol
module.
(In principle, ifconfig could load virtually all of its syntax from
shared objects.)
Extract a lot of common code into subroutines, in order to shrink
the ifconfig binary a bit. Make all of the address families share
code for address addition/replacement/removal, and delete "legacy"
code for manipulating addresses. That may have broken atalk and
iso, despite my best efforts.
Extract an include file, Makefile.inc, containing the make-fu that
both ifconfig and x_ifconfig share.
Sprinkle static. Change some int's to bool's. Constify.
Add RCS Ids to carp.c and env.c. Move media code to a new file,
media.c. Delete several unneeded header files.
Set, reset, and display the IEEE 802.11 attribute, 'dot11RTSThreshold'.
Bug fix: do not require both a interface address and a destination
address for point-to-point interfaces, but accept a interface
address by itself.
1 Let us associate a keyword with either a signed or an unsigned
number. Associate the '-chan' keyword with an unsigned number.
This fixes the defect that crashed 'ifconfig wi0 -chan', reported
by Michael van Elst.
2 Do not try to interpret names as ISO addresses unless the ISO
address family was specified. iso_addr(3) does not report errors,
so it appears to interpret *everything* as an ISO address. This
is a stopgap fix for the defect in 'ifconfig lo0 inet6' on a
!INET6 kernel that deletes the first IPv4 address on lo0.
(Reported by Scott Ellis.)
well as to IFF_BROADCAST interfaces. Fixes the bug reported by
Markus W Kilbinger,
ifconfig stf0 inet6 2002:xxxx:76ec:0001::1 prefixlen 16 alias
results in the wrong configuration,
stf0: flags=1<UP> mtu 1280
inet6 2002:xxxx:76ec:1::1 prefixlen 64
'vlan'. Should fix this bug reported by Pierre Pronchery,
# ifconfig vlan0 vlan 1 vlanif hme0
ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Address family not supported by protocol family
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-net/2008/04/08/msg000371.html>,
let us add, delete, and activate link-layer addresses with ifconfig:
# ifconfig sip0 link 02:00:00:00:00:01 [add address]
# ifconfig sip0 link 02:00:00:00:00:02 [add address]
# ifconfig sip0 link 02:00:00:00:00:02 active [activate address]
# ifconfig sip0 link 02:00:00:00:00:01 delete [remove address]
instead of zeroing them in commit_address().
Switch to in6_commit_address() from in6_getprefix() and in6_getaddr().
Temporarily add some debugging code to setia6eui64_impl().
