lagg(4)/vlan(4) on-boot configuration problems

[Matthew Pounsett]

# ifconfig lagg0 create
# ifconfig lagg0 up laggproto failover laggport bce0 laggport bce1
# ifconfig lagg0.811 create
# ifconfig lagg0.811 10.4.11.41/24
# ifconfig bce0 up
# ifconfig bce1 up

... then everything works.   If I do this...

# ifconfig bce0 up
# ifconfig bce1 up
# ifconfig lagg0 create
# ifconfig lagg0 up laggproto failover laggport bce0 laggport bce1
# ifconfig lagg0.811 create
# ifconfig lagg0.811 10.4.11.41/24





cloned_interfaces="lagg0 lagg0.811"
ifconfig_lagg0="up laggproto failover laggport bce0 laggport bce1"
ifconfig_lagg0_811="10.4.11.41/24"
ifconfig_bce0="up"
ifconfig_bce1="up"



Thanks,

I'm trying to get a bonded vlan up using the new lagg driver on 6.3- RELEASE. I seem to be having problems with getting the network to configure at boot time, and I think I've found the reason. It would appear that order of operations is very important when configuring a lagg device. If I do this... ... then the lagg0.811 interface is useless, however no errors are emitted during configuration. It would appear that /etc/rc.d/netif is probably doing the latter, as when I try to configure the above interface using rc.conf nothing works. This is the relevant rc.conf block I'm using: Does anyone have suggestions for things I might be doing wrong here, before I file a bug?
