Bug ID: 196343
Summary: ipsec gif0 setup missing netmask
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation
Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: ari at ish.com.au
The IPSec documentation may contain a bug.
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ipsec.html
In particular, the command is given as:
# ifconfig gif0 internal1 internal2
and then the resulting gif0 interface looks like
inet 10.246.38.1 --> 10.0.0.5 netmask 0xffffff00
It would appear that the mask is missing from the command like so:
# ifconfig gif0 internal1 netmask 255.255.255.0 internal2
Even better, since example IP addresses are used in these docs, write it like
this:
# ifconfig gif0 10.246.38.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.5
and it will be much clearer as to which IP address you are supposed to put
where. The documentation never explains which end of the link is supposed to be
internal1 and which is internal2. At the very least, rename them as
external_remote and external_local.
