I have an endpoint where interfaces come and go or change IP addresses
due to dynamic IPs being handed out. One thing I noticed is that if I
want to make use of the "self" keyword, the automatic table that it
abstracts away does not get automatically updated with new IP
addresses. If I manually do a pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf, it fixes the
issue. So to automate it, I looked at devd to create
% cat /etc/devd/interface.conf
notify 0 {
match "system" "IFNET";
match "type" "(LINK_DOWN|LINK_UP)";
action "/usr/local/bin/interface-change.sh $subsystem $interface";
};
and in the script I call /sbin/pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf
But the next issue I ran into is the interface often comes up before its
given an IP. So to make it work I had to add a
sleep 5 ; /sbin/pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf &
Not really happy with this method as sleeps are a bit hackish and
probably wont reliably work. Anyone else run into this issue and how do
you work around it ? Or am I approaching it the wrong way ?
I also noticed that if I do something like
ifconfig lo0 192.168.99.2/32 alias
devd does not fire
