While Shmoocon doesn't start until Friday, I'm flying out tonight. I haven't been to DC in 10 years, so I'll probably tourist it up atleast for a few hours. This week is taking me far away from any work-related activities. I turned off my pager a few minutes ago, so my vacation has officially begun.

See you in DC.

In rc.conf, I can put:

ipv4_addrs_bge0="192.168.0.1-254/24 192.168.5.50-100/24"

And do /etc/rc.d/netif restart bge0

and we get:

% ifconfig bge0
bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>

Neat. That's one way to take an entire subnet.
