Dear Folks, I have some boxes, that use many virtual IPs. ifconfig(8) tells, one has to use a netmask of 0xffffffff for the aliases, if they are on the same network (they are). I run FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE (some 4.1.1-STABLE) Assigning the alias addresses to the interface does work, although I get a warning about a possible netmask problem. The other thing is, that console and syslog is getting overwhelmed with [..] /kernel: arp_rtrequest: bad gateway value [..] I'm not sure, if there's a connection, but I suspect so, since it doesn't occur on other boxes, without alias ips, and I searched through the freebsd mailing lists, where this error has been reported previously, but no solution was posted. However, I run routed on the concerned machines, so maybe this one introduces routes, that may be wrong ? The local network is 131.159.0.0/16. Here is an excerpt from the routing tables: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 131.159.0.254 UGSc 7 567 xl0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 36 lo0 131.159 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 => 131.159.0.16 0:c0:7b:53:ec:2e UHLW 0 0 xl0 1111 131.159.0.76 8:0:20:85:f3:10 UHLW 0 630 xl0 1101 [ many similar routes ] 131.159.72.5/32 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 => 131.159.72.10/32 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 => 131.159.72.16 131.159.72.16 UHLW 0 1303 lo0 => 131.159.72.16/32 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 => 131.159.72.17/32 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 => 131.159.72.18 131.159.72.18 UHLW 0 514 lo0 => 131.159.72.18/32 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 => 131.159.72.24/32 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 => 131.159.72.25 131.159.72.25 UHLW 0 20 lo0 => 131.159.72.25/32 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 => 131.159.72.29/32 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 => [ these are alias ips ] 172.16.0.58 131.159.1.92 UGH 0 0 xl0 172.16.4.131 131.159.1.92 UGH 0 0 xl0 The last two must be introduced by routed, since I don't statically route the 172.16 net (which is modem pool using these private ips). Any suggestions ?
