Felix Johnson <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from Felix Johnson <[email protected]> --- I added review D51139 to address these questions and clarify the purpose of interface groups in ifconfig(8). An interface group is a label or tag that you can assign to one or more network interfaces. These groups are tracked by the kernel and can be used for certain administrative and programmatic purposes — primarily to refer to multiple interfaces as a set. Examples: - You can use ifconfig to add/remove interfaces from named groups. - Tools like pf(4) and routed(8) can operate on groups instead of individual interfaces. It is not cosmetic, but its effects depend on how it's used by other subsystems. There are no performance implications for being part of an interface group. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
