Bridging Two Tunnel Interfaces For ALTQ

2011-06-29 Thread Michael MacLeod
I use pf+ALTQ to achieve some pretty decent traffic shaping results at home. However, recently signed up to be part of an IPv6 trial with my ISP, and they've given me a second (dual-stacked) PPPoE login with which to test with. The problem is that the second login lacks my static IP or my routed /2

Question about NIC link state initialization

2011-06-29 Thread Steve Polyack
I have a handful of systems running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. An occaisional fat-finger in /etc/fstab may cause one to end up in single-user mode from time to time. This would normally not be a problem, but some of these systems have a LOM (lights-out management) controller which shares the system

ifconfig alias: same subnet netmask question

2011-06-29 Thread Oleg Cherevko
Hi All, When describing the "alias" parameter ifconfig manpage claims that "If the address is on the same subnet as the first network address for this interface, a non-conflicting netmask must be given. Usually 0x is most appropriate." Taking into account that FreeBSD supports aliase
