Another question. I used pair(4) to create a point to point connection into a different rdomain from rdomain 0. I followed the man page and everything worked as expected. ( That is it worked once I discovered the typo that kept it from working for 6 days of banging my head on the wall ;-) ) The man page shows an example pair(4) link from cli, however things got a little more complicated when I created /etc/hostname.pairX and /etc/hostnameY. You can't create a patch connection until both interfaces are created, so this is what I came up with. I create the first pair(4) interfaces, then when the second pair(4) interface comes up I patch the first pair(4) interface from a shell command in the second pair(4) hostname.if.
Am I missing something or is this the only way to automatically bring up a pair(4) patch? find /etc -name '*.pair*' -print -exec cat {} \; /etc/hostname.pair0 rdomain 0 group pair lladdr 00:00:C0:44:44:00 inet 10.1.1.0/31 up /etc/hostname.pair44 rdomain 44 group pair patch pair0 lladdr 00:00:C0:44:00:44 inet 10.1.1.1/31 up !ifconfig pair0 patch pair44 !route -q -T 0 add -inet 44.31.83.0/24 10.1.1.1 73 diana KI5PGJ <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free.www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
