for that and what it is for?
I've gone the pf route before to but it seems to add a lot of
complexity to my ruleset
trunk(4) is mainly used to provide redundancy or performance
enhancement on the same network. I was using it to provide switch
redundancy by putting one cable in one switch, one in the other, and
the switches connected together. If I lose a switch, it keeps
chugging along.
Alright. Just so I understand.. COULD it be used to do what I'm trying
to do? When you trunk two network interfaces together, are they
adressless? Do the devices on the switch address the IP of the pseudo
trunk interface?
I don't know. I suspect you'd have routing issues, at least. Yes, other
devices address the IP of the trunk interface, and my real interfaces
are address-less.
