Quickly creating VLANs?

[Rudy Rucker]

Works for me, but if you put in the 'inet' if breaks.

# ifconfig vlan600 create vlan 600 vlandev fxp1 inet 10.20.0.1/24
ifconfig: inet: bad value


man ifconfig:
  Since an interface can receive transmissions in differing
  protocols with different naming schemes, specifying the
  address family is recommended.

either needs to be revised to:
  except when creating a vlan, 'cause that causes sh*t to break

or, the ifconfig command needs to accept 'inet' when creating a vlan.


Is inet inherited from the 'vlandev' and therefore redundant?
