Don't reset the physical interface if I add an VLAN
0%
Description
If I add a new VLAN interface to a physical interface, when I enable it, all the others are going down and the traffic stops
Is there any way to add (and maybe remove) a VLAN interface without loosing all the connections ?
It puts CARP in bad state too.
Steps to reproduce :
- On a machine behind the firewall, ping redmine.pfsense.org
- Add a new VLAN on the interface
- Assign an IP to this new interface
- Check the pings : you loose them until all the VLANs (the new and the olds) are going up
If you are in cluster mode, CARP loose is state (the interface is not able to display if it is in master/backup mode)

this isn't true in general, I just did this several times yesterday on the latest 2.1, and do it several times a week on various 2.0.x systems. It may be true that some drivers don't behave well in that circumstance and cause problems. this isn't specific enough to be a legit bug report, please post information on what you're doing, what hardware you have, etc. to the forum or mailing list and a bug can be opened with the proper description if one actually exists in something we control (eg not drivers).
