Fix checking for valid VLan ID in NetworkManager connection
Last modified: 2017-08-01 05:28:57 EDT
VLAN ID 4095 is not a valid ID. A user configuring it, will not succeed. That was aimed to be fixed by https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=8715d61437060cacc68c156b1c8ed7bbce4b0a78 . This change, caused NM to reject VLAN ID 4095, but also failed to load existing connections on disk -- but that is no problem, because such connections were never functional!! However, the fix was wrong, so it doesn't actually reject the 4095. This got now fixed by https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=159cd4836fb32f3a6ecefa6fc4dcc114892ce32a The fix is important, because otherwise a user can configure ID 4095 which triggers an assertion in NetworkManager.
Reproducer: just create a connection with VLAN ID 4095 $ nmcli connection add type vlan con-name t-vlan autoconnect no id 4095 dev enp0s25 correct result: Error: Failed to add 't-vlan' connection: vlan.id: the vlan id must be in range 0-4094 but is 4095
