7/21 Can I just use ifconfig to expand my netmask on a FreeBSD box?
Are there any gotchas here? Linux forces me to restart my network
to expand my netmask.
\_ yes... and no, you don't have to restart your network on linux either
\_ Rebooting is the Ubootntoo way!
\_ Oooboot'n'tootin!
\_ Before I start any ubuntu installation, I eat alot of
beans. And super hot salsa.
\_ Well, maybe not technically, but on linux, using ifconfig wiped
out my route table, including default route. It did not on
FreeBSD, so I could just change the netmask on the fly.
\_ On linux, you have to think in russian. |
