I have a FreeBSD-12 development host which supports virtualization (AMD POPCNT feature). Typically I use jails for this. However, I now have a case where for evaluation purposes I have to run some form of Linux. I was following the handbook instructions and ran into this when setting up the virtual nic:
I infer that the running jails have something to do with this so I need to know if what I am attempting is possible. And, if so, what is the proper way to configure the vm tap?
Code:
ifconfig | grep -i igb
igb0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
member: igb0 flags=143<LEARNING,DISCOVER,AUTOEDGE,AUTOPTP>
ifconfig bridge0 create
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: File exists
ifconfig tap1 create
ifconfig bridge0 addm igb0 addm tap1
ifconfig: interface bridge0 does not exist
ifconfig | grep -i bridge
groups: bridge vm-switch viid-4c918@
