Other Need help in configuring dummynet kernel

[diloarmadilo]

Hi,

I was told to set pipe to limit bandwidth so I try to configure the dummynet. Currently my desktop is using FreeBSD 10 and from what I searched , it seems FreeBSD 8.2 and above doesn't need to set up kernel. I tried it but failed. So now I try to set up the kernel by using the following command :

# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# cp GENERIC DUMMYNET_BRIDGE
# vi DUMMYNET_BRIDGE

added these lines :

options IPFIREWALL
options DUMMYNET
options HZ=1000

Then try to compile it but then fatal error occurs. But the error source seems from another file and not the dummynet file I created. Should I move the file to other place?

Your help is really appreciated

Hi, there is no need to recompile kernel for dummynet, you need just load modules kldload ipfw, kldload dummynet or in /boot/loader.conf insert

ipfw_load="YES"
dummynet_load="YES"

and reboot. Sorry for grammar.

If you still want to create a custom kernel you need to change the internal name of the kernel with the ident directive. The best way to do is to include GENERIC and then turn on/off the features you want:

include GENERIC
ident DUMMYNET_BRIDGE
...

options IPFIREWALL
options DUMMYNET
options HZ=1000
