Hello, I've had a similar issue before, and cannot quite remember in detail, but it was something like this ;
Check that you have a /etc/hostname.vlan203 config file, and modify the netmask here. Do you have any carp interfaces layered over vlan203 that may be conflicting with the netmask? If you do, correct this, and then issue a destroy on the carp interface (if any), than the vlan interface, followed by sh /etc/netstart vlan203 ; sh /etc/netstart carp203 (or other carp name if any). So, summarised : ifconfig | grep carp | grep vlan # Will tell you if you have vlandev 203 in use by any carp interfaces. if you do, note the carp interface name (let's call it carp203). Then, correct your /etc/hostname.vlan203 and /etc/hostname.carp203 files with the correct netmask. Then, issue a : ifconfig carp203 destroy ; ifconfig vlan203 destroy ; sh /etc/netstart vlan203 ; sh /etc/netstart carp203 This worked for me at least... Cheers, Simon On Fri Feb 6 14:32 , Charlie Allom sent: Hi! There is some subtelty here which I cannot distinguish.. There is another host on the same segment with 94.228.79.226/0xfffffff0 if that helps? I will put a carpN on 94.228.79.225/28. anyway the problem is this: I can't seem to assign the /28 to this new vlan interface: 13:16 trajan:~# ifconfig vlan203 inet 94.228.79.227 13:16 trajan:~# ifconfig vlan203 inet 94.228.79.227 netmask 0xfffffff8 13:17 trajan:~# ifconfig vlan203 inet 94.228.79.227 netmask 0xfffffff0 ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: File exists whhaatt? others work? 13:19 trajan:~# uname -a OpenBSD trajan.playlouder.com 4.3 GENERIC.MP+RAIDFRAME#2 i386 13:24 trajan:~# ifconfig lo0: flags=8049 mtu 33208 groups: lo inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8 em0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:30:48:33:52:fa description: mgmt media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex,master) status: active inet 10.0.1.28 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.1.255 inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe33:52fa%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 em1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:30:48:33:52:fb description: pfsync media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex,master,rxpause,txpause) status: active inet 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe33:52fb%em1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 em2: flags=8943 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:15:17:14:ec:9c description: trajan media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex) status: active inet 193.34.28.3 netmask 0xfffffe00 broadcast 193.34.29.255 inet6 fe80::215:17ff:fe14:ec9c%em2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet6 2a01:450:1000:57ab::3 prefixlen 64 em3: flags=8943 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:15:17:14:ec:9d description: transit groups: egress media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex) status: active inet 89.200.217.3 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast 89.200.217.31 inet6 fe80::215:17ff:fe14:ec9d%em3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet6 2a01:450:1000:10c8::3 prefixlen 64 em4: flags=8943 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:15:17:14:ec:9e media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex) status: active inet6 fe80::215:17ff:fe14:ec9e%em4 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 em5: flags=8943 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:15:17:14:ec:9f media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full-duplex) status: active inet6 fe80::215:17ff:fe14:ec9f%em5 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 enc0: flags=0<> mtu 1536 pfsync0: flags=41 mtu 1460 pfsync: syncdev: em1 syncpeer: 224.0.0.240 maxupd: 128 groups: carp pfsync pflog0: flags=141 mtu 33208 groups: pflog vlan203: flags=8843 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:15:17:14:ec:9c vlan: 203 priority: 0 parent interface: em2 groups: vlan inet6 fe80::215:17ff:fe14:ec9c%vlan203 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xe carp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:00:5e:00:01:15 description: gateway carp: BACKUP carpdev em2 vhid 21 advbase 1 advskew 100 groups: carp inet6 fe80::200:5eff:fe00:115%carp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9 inet 193.34.28.1 netmask 0xfffffe00 broadcast 193.34.29.255 carp1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:00:5e:00:01:16 description: incoming gateway carp: BACKUP carpdev em3 vhid 22 advbase 1 advskew 100 groups: carp inet6 fe80::200:5eff:fe00:116%carp1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xa inet 89.200.217.1 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast 89.200.217.31 carp2: flags=8843 mtu 1500 lladdr 00:00:5e:00:01:17 description: ci-gateway carp: BACKUP carpdev em2 vhid 23 advbase 1 advskew 100 groups: carp inet6 fe80::200:5eff:fe00:117%carp2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xb inet 193.34.29.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 193.34.29.255 -- 020 7729 4797 http://blog.playlouder.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FC% din egen, gratis e-postadresse pC% Start.no
