Simple bridges

[quakerdoomer]

I have the following in my rc.conf

cloned_interfaces="bridge0 tap10"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm em0 addm tap10"

If I write include below, the above is not implemented. How do I get both bridges?

cloned_interfaces="bridge1 tap11"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm wlan0 addm tap11"

Thanks.

Entries in rc.conf are variables. You're defining the same variable multiple times.

#!/bin/sh

foo="bar"

foo="not bar"

echo $foo

cloned_interfaces="bridge0 bridge1 tap10 tap11"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm em0 addm tap10"
ifconfig_bridge1="addm wlan0 addm tap11"

I am sorry. I did not copy paste the file.
The second config was:

cloned_interfaces="bridge1 tap11"
ifconfig_bridge1="addm wlan0 addm tap11"

But I guess cloned_interfaces was getting overwritten. Would it have worked if I used cloned_interface1 instead?

I'll try what you suggested. Any way to do this without a reboot?

As already explained, there's only one cloned_interfaces variable.

service netif restart

No, you put all the interfaces you need in one cloned_interfaces.
