Solved ether random

[nbari]

How to configure in /etc/rc.conf an interface with "ether random" so that the MAC address is not the same as the main interface?

For example when creating a VLAN I use something like:

cloned_interfaces="vlan0"
create_args_vlan0="vlan 4000 vlandev em0 mtu 1400 fib 1"
ifconfig_vlan0="ether random"

That works but when I need to define the IP, for example:

ifconfig_vlan0="inet 10.0.0.4/24"

How to also add ether random?

have you tried:
ifconfig_vlan0="inet 10.0.0.4/24 ether random"

Do you have tried: ifconfig_vlan0="inet 10.0.0.4/24 ether random" ?

 

[nbari]

Yes, but doesn't work, also from the CLI returns:
ifconfig: ether: bad value

 

[Alexander88207]

Hmm... and with "inet 10.0.0.4/24 link random" ?

 

[nbari]

Not working with "link random":
ifconfig: link: bad value

But this should go now...

ifconfig_vlan0="ether random inet 10.0.0.4/24"

I mean atleast it works for me if i put ether random at first before SYNCDHCP and stuff using an em interface.

Still not working, for me only works if I only use:

ifconfig_vlan0="ether random"

What I am doing now is in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_vlan0="inet 10.0.0.4/24"

and in /etc/rc.local
ifconfig vlan0 ether random

But would like to find a way of doing it all within /etc/rc.conf and prevent /etc/rc.local

Set in
/etc/rc.conf

ifconfig_vlan0="inet 10.0.0.4/24"
create_args_vlan0="ether random"

[EDIT]

ifconfig_vlan0="ether random"
ipv4_addrs_vlan0="inet 10.0.0.4/24"

Credit goes to acheron: set MAC address at boot

Thanks,

Set in
/etc/rc.conf

[EDIT]

ifconfig_vlan0="ether random"
ip4_addrs_vlan0="inet 10.0.0.4/24"

Thanks, there is a typo, it should be ipv4 not ip4:

ipv4_addrs_vlan0="inet 10.0.0.4/24"

Thanks, corrected.
