AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.

Currently, 'ifconfig laggX down' does not remove members from this
lagg(4) interface. So, 'service netif stop laggX' followed by
'service netif start laggX' will choke, because "stop" will leave
interfaces attached to the laggX and ifconfig from the "start" will
refuse to add already-existing interfaces.
The real-world case is when I am bundling together my Ethernet and
WiFi interfaces and using multiple profiles for accessing network in
different places: system being booted up with one profile, but later
this profile being exchanged to another one, followed by 'service
netif restart' will not add WiFi interface back to the lagg: the
"stop" action from 'service netif restart' will shut down my main WiFi
interface, so wlan0 that exists in the lagg0 will be destroyed and
purged from lagg0; the "start" action will try to re-add both
interfaces, but since Ethernet one is already in lagg0, ifconfig will
refuse to add the wlan0 from WiFi interface.
Since adding the interface to the lagg(4) when it is already here
should be an idempotent action: we're really not changing anything,
so this fix doesn't change the semantics of interface addition.

from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation

interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.
The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.
ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.
To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]
The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

X-MFC: use spare in struct ifnet
Document the fact that we might want an IFCAP_CANTCHANGE mask,
even though the value is not yet used in sys/net/if.c
(asked on -current a week ago, no feedback so i assume no objection).
- A new per-interface knob IFF_ND6_NO_RADR and sysctl IPV6CTL_NO_RADR.
This controls if accepting a route in an RA message as the default route.
The default value for each interface can be set by net.inet6.ip6.no_radr.
The system wide default value is 0.
- A new sysctl: net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif. This controls if setting R-bit in
NA on RA accepting interfaces. The default is 0 (R-bit is set based on
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding).
Background:
IPv6 host/router model suggests a router sends an RA and a host accepts it for
router discovery. Because of that, KAME implementation does not allow
accepting RAs when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. Accepting RAs on a router can
make the routing table confused since it can change the default router
unintentionally.
However, in practice there are cases where we cannot distinguish a host from
a router clearly. For example, a customer edge router often works as a host
against the ISP, and as a router against the LAN at the same time. Another
example is a complex network configurations like an L2TP tunnel for IPv6
connection to Internet over an Ethernet link with another native IPv6 subnet.
In this case, the physical interface for the native IPv6 subnet works as a
host, and the pseudo-interface for L2TP works as the default IP forwarding
route.
Problem:
Disabling processing RA messages when net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1 and
accepting them when net.inet6.ip6.forward=0 cause the following practical
issues:
- A router cannot perform SLAAC. It becomes a problem if a box has
multiple interfaces and you want to use SLAAC on some of them, for
example. A customer edge router for IPv6 Internet access service
using an IPv6-over-IPv6 tunnel sometimes needs SLAAC on the
physical interface for administration purpose; updating firmware
and so on (link-local addresses can be used there, but GUAs by
SLAAC are often used for scalability).
- When a host has multiple IPv6 interfaces and it receives multiple RAs on
them, controlling the default route is difficult. Router preferences
defined in RFC 4191 works only when the routers on the links are
under your control.
Details of Implementation Changes:
Router Advertisement messages will be accepted even when
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1. More precisely, the conditions are as
follow:
(ACCEPT_RTADV && !NO_RADR && !ip6.forwarding)
=> Normal RA processing on that interface. (as IPv6 host)
(ACCEPT_RTADV && (NO_RADR || ip6.forwarding))
=> Accept RA but add the router to the defroute list with
rtlifetime=0 unconditionally. This effectively prevents
from setting the received router address as the box's
default route.
(!ACCEPT_RTADV)
=> No RA processing on that interface.
ACCEPT_RTADV and NO_RADR are per-interface knob. In short, all interface
are classified as "RA-accepting" or not. An RA-accepting interface always
processes RA messages regardless of ip6.forwarding. The difference caused by
NO_RADR or ip6.forwarding is whether the RA source address is considered as
the default router or not.
R-bit in NA on the RA accepting interfaces is set based on
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding. While RFC 6204 W-1 rule (for CPE case) suggests
a router should disable the R-bit completely even when the box has
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1, I believe there is no technical reason with
doing so. This behavior can be set by a new sysctl net.inet6.ip6.norbit_raif
(the default is 0).
Usage:
# ifconfig fxp0 inet6 accept_rtadv
=> accept RA on fxp0
# ifconfig fxp0 inet6 accept_rtadv no_radr
=> accept RA on fxp0 but ignore default route information in it.
# sysctl net.inet6.ip6.norbit_no_radr=1
=> R-bit in NAs on RA accepting interfaces will always be set to 0.
If compiled in for dual-stack use, test with feature_present(3)
to see if we should register the IPv4/IPv6 address family related
options.
In case there is no "inet" support we would love to go with the
usage() and make the address family mandatory (as it is for anything
but inet in theory). Unfortunately people are used to
ifconfig IF up/down
etc. as well, so use a fallback of "link". Adjust the man page
to reflect these minor details.
Improve error handling printing a warning in addition to the usage
telling that we do not know the given address family in two places.

re-add $ipv6_enable support for backward compatibility. From
UPDATING:
1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF
for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used.
Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head.
Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not
understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases.
$ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but
they are obsolete.
2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and/or
"inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead.
If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and
all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility.
3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6
functionality of interfaces with no corresponding
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag,
and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8)
is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details).
Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the
disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by
using ifconfig(8) like:
ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled
If YES, the default address selection policy is set as
IPv6-preferred.
The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO.
4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages,
define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8)
scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes
UP. The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC
(State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).
automatic link-local address configuration:
- Convert a sysctl net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv to one for the
default value of a per-IF flag ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV, not a
global knob. The default value of the sysctl is 0.
- Add a new per-IF flag ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL and convert a
sysctl net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal to one for its default
value. The default value of the sysctl is 1.
- Make ND6_IFF_IFDISABLED more robust. It can be used to disable
IPv6 functionality of an interface now.
- Receiving RA is allowed if ip6_forwarding==0 *and*
ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV is set on that interface. The former
condition will be revisited later to support a "host + router" box
like IPv6 CPE router. The current behavior is compatible with
the older releases of FreeBSD.
- The ifconfig(8) now supports these ND6 flags as well as "nud",
"prefer_source", and "disabled" in ndp(8). The ndp(8) now
supports "auto_linklocal".

All unicast/broadcast/multicast layer2 traffic is blocked so it works much the
same way as using firewall rules but scales better and is generally easier as
firewall packages usually do not allow ARP blocking.
An example usage would be having a number of customers on separate vlans
bridged with a server network. All the vlans are marked private, they can all
communicate with the server network unhindered, but can not exchange any
traffic whatsoever with each other.

o revised channel handling support; ifconfig now queries the kernel to
find the list of available channels and handles channel promotion;
channel attributes can be specified as part of the channel; e.g. 36:a
for channel 36 in 11a (as opposed to turbo A or HT A)
o use channel list to map between freq and IEEE channel #; this eliminates
all knowledge of how the mapping is done and fixes handling of cases
where channels overlap in the IEEE channel # space but are distinct in
the frequency+attributes space (e.g. PSB)
o add new knobs: bgscan, ff (Atheors fast frames), dturbo (Atheros
Dynamic Turbo mode), bgscanidle, bgscanintvl, scanvalid, roam:rssi11a,
roam:rssi11b, roam:rssi11g, roam:rate11a, roam:rate11b, roam:rate11g

The name trunk is misused as the networking term trunk means carrying multiple
VLANs over a single connection. The IEEE standard for link aggregation (802.3
section 3) does not talk about 'trunk' at all while it is used throughout IEEE
802.1Q in describing vlans.
The lagg(4) driver provides link aggregation, failover and fault tolerance.

tolerance. This driver allows aggregation of multiple network interfaces as
one virtual interface using a number of different protocols/algorithms.
failover - Sends traffic through the secondary port if the master becomes
inactive.
fec - Supports Cisco Fast EtherChannel.
lacp - Supports the IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) and the Marker Protocol.
loadbalance - Static loadbalancing using an outgoing hash.
roundrobin - Distributes outgoing traffic using a round-robin scheduler
through all active ports.
This code was obtained from OpenBSD and this also includes 802.3ad LACP support
from agr(4) in NetBSD.

of devd(8) involuntarily reloading modules should be dealt with in a
different way.
new interface. In other cases loading the module is unwanted and
can lead to ill side effects. One such effect found is as follows:
"kldunload if_foo" tells the module to kill all its interfaces,
which results in messages sent to devd; the module unloads. Then
devd starts processing the messages, which ends up in a etc script
running ifconfig fooX, which reloads the module.
'-alias', and that 'add' and 'delete are in fact synonyms for these
in the ifconfig(8) grammar.

address learned by the bridge is made permanent, the address will not age out
and most importantly will not migrate to another interface.
This can be used to stop mac address poisoning or clients roaming in much the
same way as static entries without the hassle of preloading the table.
RSTP provides faster spanning tree convergence, the protocol will exchange
information with neighboring switches to quickly transition to forwarding
without creating loops. The code will default to RSTP mode but will downgrade
any port connected to a legacy STP network so is fully backward compatible.
