Yes.

Simplified, this is how the network stack stores the information that it is
trying to find the link-local address of 10.0.0.10 on that link (by sending
arp requests).

If you run OpenBSD 6.5 or newer, you can try to solve your problem by
renaming the vlan23 hostname.if file:

 mv /etc/hostname.vlan23 /etc/hostname.vlan1

Then it will be created before vlan10, and things should just work.



unexpected behavior with static route inserted

2019-08-22 Thread Benjamin Girard
Hi,


I have the following machine with two interfaces like this:

root@fw:~ # cat /etc/hostname.vlan10
vlan 10 vlandev vio0
inet 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 NONE
up

root@fw:~ # cat /etc/hostname.vlan23
vlan 23 vlandev vio0
inet 172.30.133.83 255.255.255.240 NONE
!route add 10.0.0.10/32 172.30.133.84
up

now the problem is that if i start pinging 10.0.0.10 before my vlan23 is up and 
has inserted the static route, the openbsd machine will insert another route 
like this:

root@fw:~ $ route -n show | grep 10.0.0.10
10.0.0.10link#12UHLc   0   78 - 3 vlan10

then if I netstart vlan23 the static route will be inserted but with a lower 
priority:

kmbops@fw:~ $ route -n show | grep 209.43.38.6
10.0.0.10link#12UHLc   0   78 - 3 vlan10
10.0.0.10172.30.133.84  UGHS   00 - 8 vlan23

Eventually this first route inserted will disappear if i stop pinging the ip, 
or will not at all exist in the first place if i don't try to reach that ip 
before inserting the static route, but my question is: Is it the expected 
behavior?

Why does this route get inserted while there is already a route for the full 
10.0.0.0/24 subnet existing anyway?

Thanks,
Ben
