Commit Message

Michael Tremer June 29, 2022, 6:27 p.m. UTC
  This is a little patch which will extend the aliases page to offer an
interface selection if there are more than one RED interfaces.

This is a little hack to make configuration easier for users who have
manually set up more than one RED interface (e.g. for load balancing or
fail-over) and want to use the UI to configure firewall rules.

As a little benefit on the side, I had to rewrite setaliases.c to use
ip(8) instead of ifconfig(8).
