IBM X3650 at 7.1 with broadcom chips and CISCO LACP with LAGG driver ?

2009-04-09 Thread Frank Bonnet

Hello

I plan to migrate our mailhub to 7.1 but before I do it
I need infos about network :-)

The machine is an IBM X3650 that have two Broadcom
gigaethernet interfaces.

I want to use the LAGG driver in LACP mode with a Cisco switch
to connect the machine to my LAN in bonding mode

Is there any known network problem at 7.1 with such driver/machine ?

This machine has permanently 500/600 IMAP(S) processes and a high
SMTP traffic.

Thanks for any infos.

rc.network clarification in adding routes (4.2)

2001-01-08 Thread Frank Bonnet

Hi 

I need some clarification on variables setup to add
statics routes in the followin part on rc.network.


# Set up any static routes.  This should be done before router discovery.
#
if [ -n "${static_routes}" ]; then
for i in ${static_routes}; do
eval route_args=\$route_${i}
route add ${route_args}
done
fi



I've put the following in rc.conf to add internals routes


static_routes="res40"
res40=" -net 147.215.40 147.215.20.1 255.255.255.0"
static_routes="res80"
res80=" -net 147.215.80 147.215.20.1 255.255.255.0"

but the route command give an invalid argument error message.


Thanks for any infos.

2001-01-12 Thread Frank Bonnet

Hi

Thinking to setup a NTP server for our LAN
I would like to read feedback for admins that
use any hardware clock connected to a FreeBSD
(4.2) box.

The machine is a HP PIII 350 Mhz.
 
I'm searching for feedback/infos from experienced
admins in "good" hardware devices to connect to
the PC.

TIA

Best NIC at 4.6 ?

2002-07-08 Thread Frank Bonnet

Hi

I wondering what would be the best supported NIC
by FreeBSD 4.6 , I am in the process to upgrade
our mailhub and I would like to have "freebsd-net"
gurus advice on the "best" network hardware

Actually I use an Intel express PRO 10/100 
and I experienced some "lost connection" 
with the Postfix MTA , I am not sure that
is the eth board, but changing it for a
"better one" is not expensive.

Any info advice welcome.
thanks a lot.
