next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
we have some Dell poweredge boxes that come with dual onboard nics: fxp0: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> fxp1: <Intel Pro 10/100B/100+ Ethernet> Ideally we'd like to have these ports in a redundant configuration where each is hooked up to a different switch and, if one switch or card was to fail, the other would take over. Is this possible now? In the future? Is this something that has to be supported by the cards? And if so, I would imagine the driver would have to support it as well? I'm a little confused on the subject... thanks for any help. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
