Hi All, I am trying to connect 2 BSD machines via Serial Ports back-to-back via Null modem cables. Both machines are properly connected to a Serial Data Switch. One machine is I/O and the other is machine A. The idea is to be able to move logs to the I/O machine from machine A. (I use DB25 Null Modem Cables)
After hours of research I found sources that recommended to do the following: Add the following to the I/O Machine: /etc/rc.conf network_interfaces="sl0 tun0 lo0" ifconfig_sl0="inet 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 link0" Add the following to the A Machine: network_interfaces="sl0 tun0 lo0" ifconfig_sl0="inet 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="10.0.0.1" Create these identical files on both macines: /etc/start_if.sl0 slattach -l -c -h -s 115200 /dev/ttyd1 slattach -l -c -h -s 115200 /dev/ttyd1 Rebooted - and nothing worked. I searched a bit more and found the following: On the I/O machine add ifconfig sl0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 Machine A gets the following: ifconfig sl0 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.1 Still nothing works... if I run ifconfig, it does show sl0 interface up and inet10.0.0.1 --> 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffff0000 What am I doing wrong??? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
