Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->brooks Brooks Davis introduced ifconfig plumb, he should know what to do with this. State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed similar patch. |
Network clone interfaces should be created with ifconfig create command, but an alias referenced in the manal is "ifconfig plumb". Since "create" is a special case in the ifconfig sources, it had to be trated out of the main command list array. In that array, plumb is referenced but not used. In the special case, plumb is not referenced. (I would also change the ifconfig manual to reference the word "clone" somewhere near the create option) How-To-Repeat: ifconfig gif0 plumb
