Try using ifconfig like the examples at the bottom of the man page, it will work just fine... # ifconfig vr0 inet 10.196.100.206 netmask 255.255.255.0 exactly why your syntax doesn't work, I didn't find in a quick glance at ifconfig(8), but the examples will work. > It also could not be done with configuration files (/etc/hostname.???) It can be done just fine with hostname.if, if done properly. You didn't show what you did, so I can't say what you did wrong, but see hostname.if(5), and rest assured a lot of people set their netmasks. Just about everyone, one way or another. :) > And actually due to my providers setup, i need to change mac address of > vr0 to the different one, and if i do that with /etc/hostname.vr0 - only > lladdr setting is read from that file on boot. ditto.
