devices are automatically created at boot(how about pseudo devices e.g; carp)?

2005-12-01 Thread Mark Jayson Alvarez 
Hi,
   Do I have to  write a script that contains let's say:
 #!/bin/sh
 ifconfig carp0 create
 
 
 then add a line in my rc.conf that looks like this:
 ifconfig_carp0=vhid 1 pass mypasswd 192.168.0.1/24
 
 or is there a place where I can do them both at the same time?
 
 thanks

from the carp man page:

A carp interface can be created at runtime using the ifconfig carpN
create command or by configuring it via cloned_interfaces in the
/etc/rc.conf file.


so, using something like:

cloned_interfaces=carp0

in your rc.conf would create the device at boot time.  From there, 
you would just configure it like any other network interface.
