Hi,
Is it possible to have two physical ethernet interfaces in a FreeBSD
machine and configure them, without needing to subnet?
I want to have a very specifc host hanging off one of the interfaces, and
have the rest of the network reachable off the other. I thought this would
be possible with something like
ifconfig ed0 inet x.y.z.1 netmask 0xffffff00
ifconfig ep0 inet x.y.z.2 netmask 0xffffff00
route add host x.y.z.3 x.y.z.2
route add net x.y.z.0 x.y.z.1
which should, as far as I can tell, route everything for the single host
.3 via interface ep0, and route everything else destined for the network
via ed0.
It doesn't work. After ifconfiging ep0 as above it doesn't even appear in
the routing tables (as shown by netstat -r) and the route commands fail.
I can achieve this in a snap if I subnet. But I don't really want to split
the network in two.
