Oh. Yeah if there's no performance penalty on such a solution then great. Could someone confirm that? So this works for cabled ethernet, where NIC promiscuous mode due to the bridge won't hurt. Also it wouldn't work for wireless interfaces. Also to be robust it presumes that NIC unplug

Re: Can I bind USB/other interface/device number (e.g. cdceX) to particular MAC, USB serial number or the like?

I don't know the bridge code in OpenBSD as well as I know it in Linux - basic bridges don't add any appreciable overhead on that platform until you start mucking around with bridge specific things. It just means you maintain an arp table distinct from each sub-interface. tl;dr - it's not going

In the kernel however that implies an internal indirection/one or more additional rounds copying of all traffic and passing around, right, so even it works quite well, it's not optimal right? Anyhow sure that is an effective workaround if needed. On 2017-06-02 02:20, Joel Wirāmu Pauling

Good news! You can have this already. Go run Linux. On June 1, 2017 8:42:45 PM EDT, Tinker wrote: >Ah - having an interface name naming scheme that, instead of just being > >a counter, e.g. CDCE + 0 -> 1 -> ... = "cdce0", denoting the physical >slot where the device is

Re: Can I bind USB/other interface/device number (e.g. cdceX) to particular MAC, USB serial number or the like?

Ah - having an interface name naming scheme that, instead of just being a counter, e.g. CDCE + 0 -> 1 -> ... = "cdce0", denoting the physical slot where the device is connected, e.g. CDCE + USB root-hub: 0 + slot: 17 + address: 4 = "cdceur0s17a4", would do the job too. On 2017-06-02 00:24,

Re: Can I bind USB/other interface/device number (e.g. cdceX) to particular MAC, USB serial number or the like?

Hi, What I meant was, it's fairly easy for interface numbers (e.g. NIC A as CDCE0 and NIC B as CDCE1) to become exchanged. With lots of unluck, there could be mechanical stress on USB ports so that they would rearrange spontaneously so NIC B would become CDCE0 and NIC A would become CDCE1.

Can I bind USB/other interface/device number (e.g. cdceX) to particular MAC, USB serial number or the like?

Hi misc@, For pluggable devices such as USB NIC:s, is there any way to make OpenBSD bind a particular device based on its MAC or USB serial number or the like variable, to a particular interface or device filename? E.g. MAC X is prebooked as cdce0, and MAC Y as cdce1 , and external USB
