The ifconfig variables in rc.conf always include the address family, so you'd want something like... ifconfig_fxp0_ipx="ipx 0x0010010" That said, I don't see much help for ipx stuff in the rc.conf(5) manual page, nor in defaults/rc.conf . :-( Ciao, Sheldon. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->sheldonh While the originator is happy with the response we gave him (missing protocol family), something needs to be done to make it clear that _ipx in the rc.conf variable name does not obviate the need to specify the protocol family. State Changed From-To: open->closed A sample entry has been added to defaults/rc.conf in rev 1.75, and merged onto RELENG_4 in rev 1.53.2.8. |
Added the following lines to /etc/rc.conf to enable IPX protocol, after compiling kernel with IPX and NCPFS options. ifconfig_fxp0_ipx="0x00010010" ipxrouted_enable="YES" When system booted, boot message paused on " sendmail" for several minutes. After system finished booting, no tcp/ip available. Checking ifconfig, showed my tcp/ip address to be 1.0.16.0 Fix: Checking showed that the line in rc.network that configures IPX was: ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args} but should have been: ifconfig ${ifn} ipx ${ifconfig_args} How-To-Repeat: Add above lines to /etc/rc.conf and reboot
