Bridge the epair interfaces on the host to igb0/igb1 and you should be able to communicate between the two jails via igb0 and igb1. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
