You was a bit lucky. It is not supposed to work this way. Generally, you should not have more than single network interface attached to single IP subnet. Instead, you assign one of IPs as primary address and others as secondary addresses with mask /32. So you don't need additional physical ports to utilize any number of addresses. There are some cases when you use port aggregation for ports connected to same switch and subnet but then you still use single lagg(4) logical network interface to assign all your IPs. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
