General comments: Why must ACL's be managed by dladm? Shouldn't this be handled by the somewhat newly proposed ipadm? It seems to me that the gist of this proposal is intended for network layer filtering (not link layer). It does not make sense to me to define an ethernet address filter on something which is normally controlled higher up the stack. Why are you suggesting that we protect outselves from... ourselves? If this is a case of not allowing the user to re-program the default ethernet address for a given PHY, then this should be controlled elsewhere (perhaps by ifconfig?). Perhaps I misunderstood the need for this? Steve -- Yet magic and hierarchy arise from the same source, and this source has a null pointer. Reference the NULL within NULL, it is the gateway to all wizardry. _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
