Interfaces with "." in the name don't work (e.g. VLAN interfaces)

[bellhyve]

Netgraph wants "interface_name" rather than "interface.name" as seen by ifconfig.

This is easily fixable, but it also occurs to me that there might be a tricky startup race condition with VLANs because we need to wait until they're cloned before we can bind to them.

I just hit this. Any thoughts on how fix it? I guess I can rename the vlan interface name.

I renamed my em0.69 to guest then I used ngbuddy_public_if=guest and it all worked fine :)

I fixed this already. I’ll make sure it’s pushed to main. While in at it, can you remind me about the sysctl that fixes the retry issue? That should go in the next ports version.On Aug 31, 2024, at 2:32 AM, Antranig Vartanian ***@***.***> wrote: I just hit this. Any thoughts on how fix it?

Thank you for fixing that. I’ll test it as soon as it’s pushed! It’s the tunable `net.link.ifqmaxlen`, by default it’s set to `50`, I set it to `4096`, but I’m not sure if that’s the right number. I see pfSense is shipped with `net.link.ifqmaxlen: 125` (or 128, can’t remember). Keep in mind this is a kernel tunable, so it needs to be set in `loader.conf` and the system needs a reboot. Thanks again Daniel! Kind regards, — Antranig Vartanian https://antranigv.am/ PGP Key ID: 0x2D59F21C
