range of IPs in rc.conf
Hi, I need to use around 30 IPs on a freebsd 7 machine. Is there a way to avoid adding 30 lines of aliases in rc.conf? On RedHat/Centos I use this trick: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/RangeOfIpsOnEthx Anything similar available for FreeBSD?

You could then use #!/bin/sh and a 'for' loop to create the devices. IMHO, this solution is a lot uglier than 30 extra lines in rc.conf. -- Glen Barber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If this is a contiguous range of IPs, then use the ipv4_addrs_ifN construct, which you can read all about in rc.conf(5). Eg: ipv4_addrs_em0=192.168.64.33-63/24 Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
