FYI if anyone is interested, I worked out how to create a vxlan interface in rc.conf at boot. I'll see about updating the man pages with an example as it wasn't very clear, atleast not to me! [&#X1f60a]



rc.conf


create_args_vxlan0="vxlanid 100 vxlanlocal x.x.x.x vxlanremote x.x.x.x"

cloned_interfaces="vxlan0"

ifconfig_vxlan0="inet x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x"




Hope it helps someone else and saves them time.
