Bug #7040
closedIssue when disabling an interface
0%
Description
I am using the interfaces like this :
ix0
ix0_vlan1
ix0_vlan35
I just want to disable only ix0, but still having the vlan 1 & 35 working.
Instead the physical interface is being shutdown completely.
I did a cold start on the pfsense box, and the system was working as intended (ix0 disabled, vlan 1 & 35 working).
i'm using :
2.3.3-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)

Disabling the parent interface will stop the connectivity to all connected networks/VLANs , the vlan is up and you can ping the vlan interface inside pfsense but it will not be able to communicate.
I can ping the vlan interface 10.100.100.1 when the parent interface is down :
C:\Users\I>ping 10.100.100.1 -t
Pinging 10.100.100.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.100.100.1: bytes=32 time=21ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.100.100.1: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.100.100.1: bytes=32 time=6ms TTL=64
while the client 10.100.100.100 in same vlan is not reachable:
C:\Users\I>ping 10.100.100.100 -t

this is a normal behavior in most Switches/Routers .
