I have a jail with vnet where the interface is renamed that stopped working after this. from inside the jail: root@test:/ # ifconfig lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=680003<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x10 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 groups: lo nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> vnet0b_test: flags=8862<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> ether 02:27:72:a7:28:0b groups: epair media: Ethernet 10Gbase-T (10Gbase-T <full-duplex>) status: active nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> root@test:/ # ifconfig vnet0b_test ifconfig: kldload(if_vnet): Operation not permitted If I don't rename the interface, that works. jail.conf: test { vnet; $index = "0"; vnet.interface = "vnet${index}b_${name}"; exec.prestart += "ifconfig epair${index} create"; exec.prestart += "ifconfig ${bridge} addm epair${index}a"; exec.prestart += "ifconfig epair${index}a up name vnet${index}a_${name}"; exec.prestart += "ifconfig epair${index}b up name vnet${index}b_${name}"; exec.poststop += "ifconfig ${bridge} deletem vnet${index}a_${name}"; exec.poststop += "ifconfig vnet${index}a_${name} destroy"; devfs_ruleset = "11"; # add path 'bpf*' unhide (devfs.rules) } That's a bit odd, I know, could be using description instead.
