Thanks. I'll check out route man page. I am running synchronous serial PCI cards. I have one FreeBSD 4.5-Stable machine routing Ethernet, PPP and Wireless just to see if it would all play together. I'm running a few LMC (now SBE) HSSI and T1/E1 cards in various FreeBSD boxes. One of the devices I need to test against (and work with in the field) doesn't seem to let me configure an IP address for both ends via "ifconfig". For example: ifconfig lmc0 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 works just fine FreeBSD to FreeBSD. No such command exists on this one box I need to deal with. I configure a subnet (e.g. Ethernet) or unnumbered p2p, that's it as far as I can tell. The manual for this device does claim to support unnumbered, so I want to try that on our side if possible. If that works, the next trick is to find an OSPF that can deal with it.

A while ago it was possible to use 'route' to add a rout eto a p2p interface by name and not assign it any addresses. thus packets would still be passed across the link without it having any addresses. (this is great for not wasting adresses) I do not know it this still works, asd I have not tested it for a long time (several years) from memory the 'route' man page still specifies how to do the route end of thing. you might try it and get back to us to let us know it it still works. (it has to be a point-2-point interface, e.g. a sync serial card) On Thu, 21 Mar 2002, Cambria, Mike wrote: > > Hi, > > Can an unnumbered IP interface be configured on FreeBSD (4.5-Stable)? > > Will Zebra and/or GateD (or RouteD) handle it properly? > > Thanks, > MikeC > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
