I need to set up a simple NIC failover in a 6.2 host, connected to Cisco 2950 switches. From searching the web it seems that the simples option for me is to use ng_fec (I'd rather use trunk/lagg, but I can't use -current for this). Since I haven't used netgraph before, I'd appreciate any advices and caveats (especially: is anyone using this in production?).
From documentation and examples found on the web it looks like I need to do this: ngctl mkpeer fec dummy fec ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"em0"' ngctl msg fec0: add_iface '"em1"' ifconfig fec0 up ifconfig fec0 inet x netmask y Is this correct / all? I also found a pointer to use ng_one2many but a) ng_fec is supposed to make use of the router's support (FEC), and b) it looks more complicated to configure. What is the practical meaning / difference between mode_mac and mode_inet in ng_fec? One other thing: where should I add the above configuration? In /etc/rc.local?
