communicate with another private port.
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.

bridged, previously legitimate traffic was not passed as the bridge could not
tell that it was on a different Ethernet segment.
All non-tagged traffic is treated as vlan1 as per IEEE 802.1Q-2003
previous commit:
Remove IPX over IP tunneling support, which allows IPX routing over IP
tunnels, and was not MPSAFE. The code can be easily restored in the
event that someone with an IPX over IP tunnel configuration can work
with me to test patches.
This removes one of five remaining consumers of NET_NEEDS_GIANT.

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
(roaming parameters), burst, doth (forthcoming 11h support)
o print contents of WME, ATH, WPA, RSN, information elements with -v option
o print signal strength in dBm
o print noise floor in dBm
o add list txpow to print tx power caps/channel
o change default channel display in status to be more informative
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.
Discussed on: current@
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.
hardware drivers. Unlike pseudo-device drivers, which just attach
to the cloning framework and wait for "ifconfig create", h/w drivers
create interfaces for installed cards as soon as loaded. The issue
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.

one. This is based on NetBSD but unlike NetBSD this implementation prints
the instance number for all media instances and doesn't skip it for the
first one as I don't see a reason to suppress it except for the vague
reason to preserve the output for single-instance configurations.
- Fix some whitespace nits.
o add hack/nonstandard channel mapping for public safety band channels to
mirror kernel (temporary until we have proper 802.11 state)
o change ieee80211_mhz2ieee to take channel flags (unused right now)
While here do some minor fixups like using IEEE80211_IS_CHAN_ANYG.
- use flags rather than sperate ioctls for edge, p2p
- implement p2p and autop2p flags
- define large pathcost constant as ULL
- show bridgeid and rootid in ifconfig

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.
