any of you openbsd guys use vlan interfaces? Yup. brb i have a question for you then. =) basically, i want several 802.1Q vlans and a "native vlan" (to use cisco terminology), e.g. a vlan with no 802.1Q tag. is that possible w/ openbsd or must every vlan be "tagged"? basically, i want a bunch of vlanX interfaces and i want the physical interface to be associated with the "native vlan" (e.g. frames w/ no 802.1Q header) not sure if that's possible or if it expects all traffic to be tagged I can show you my hostname.ifs. i'd be interested in seeing hostname. i know what the hostname.vlanX's should look like (unless there's a special format i haven't seen for an untagged vlan) 23:24:39 cz@alix:~> cat /etc/hostname.vr2 inet 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.252 192.168.1.255 description cisco actually, i think i just found the answer: So, to utilize "vlan 1" you need to put that IP address on the parent interface, not on a vlan with id of 1. CaZe: okay, i'm assuming you have hostname.vlanX's with "vlandev vr2" then? from the wording in the vlan(4) man page it sounded like anything w/o an 802.1Q tag would be associated w/ the physical interface (which is what i want), but it wasn't 100% clear. 23:27:02 cz@alix:~> cat /etc/hostname.vlan0 vlan 2 vlandev vr2 inet 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.224 192.168.2.31 description CaZe perfect 23:27:18 cz@alix:~> cat /etc/hostname.vlan1 vlan 3 vlandev vr2 inet 192.168.2.33 255.255.255.224 192.168.2.63 description Guest answers my question. tyvm. It's been a long time since I've set this up. Probably like three or four years. I've never had to touch it again, so I didn't really remember. heh, no problem. from the contents of the hostname.* files my question is answered. =) I have a Cisco AP that broadcasts multiple SSIDs. So I have a VLAN for each SSID. heh, yep, that's exactly what i'm about to do. but if i broke it in the meantime i'd have to go physically plug into the router to fix it. and i'm lazy. =) I have the native interface to connect directly to the AP, for configuration and such. Heh, I just have it on a /30 network. I don't even remember the last time I needed to congiure my AP. And I'm fairly certain I don't remember any of the iOS commands. Good thing I have the config backed up. Somewhere. heh, i swapped out my asa for this little router thing i put openbsd and i, for some unknown reason, decided to redo pretty much everything tbh, I've never bothered with trying to get WiFi on my router. Say what you will about Proprietary Cisco stuff, but I've never been kicked off or had to powercycle the AP or anything. The only thing I did was put electrical tape over the LEDs of the thing. This AP is like ten years old, too. the router i'm using doesn't have wifi on it: http://www.maxxwave.com/solutions/service-provider/routermaxx-6-port-gigabit-router-dual-core.html i have a bunch of ap's that i'm using: aerohive, ruckus, aruba, ... I got it on ebay a few years ago. I'm just a 3 port ALIX. next up is a stratum 1 ntp server at home, heh *using <-- nerd Yeah, I can't do any cool stuff with my lousy uplink. otoh, I don't have to invest in new WiFi equipment. I can just keep using the same 10 year old WiFi technology, as long as my uplink stays as slow as it is. aironet ap? Yeah. the older stuff is pretty solid i have 20 mbps fiber at home now, there was an article in the newspaper saying my isp is giving all fiber customers 1 gbps during march for new, i'd probably buy ubiquiti stuff before anything new cisco i can't wait for that. i'm gonna download the internet. 1100 series. ah, right on This thing has never kicked me off the connection, and never needed to be rebooted. I think it might have the longest uptime of anything I have control over. my longest uptime was on my cable modem, but i had to power cycle it to get a new config monday ah-boo heh at my previous job we found a windows box w/ something like 850 days uptime fortunately it's switchport had been quarantined here we go: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jlgaddis/4340673033/ Flickr photo: "Here's something you don't see everyday" by jeremygaddis I don't even know how to see the uptime of this thing. oh, nvm cisco uptime is 1 year, 6 weeks, 5 days, 10 hours, 48 minutes "sh ver | in uptime" should work cr1.ipls uptime is 1 year, 50 weeks, 4 hours, 10 minutes but that's cheating :) my longest uptime on a piece of equipment was 8 years and change, taken offline in march of last year - windows server 2000 based control box
