Hello all,
We have been colocating at our current site since 2001, and will be
changing colo sites in late January.
When we set up the current site, the colo admin set up ifconfig for us.
He will not be available to set up at the new colo site :-)
I have been reading the man articles for ifconfig and am still slightly
confised. If anyone can help I would be greatfull.
Here is the current setup:
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 205.150.82.194 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 205.150.82.207
ether 00:b0:d0:f9:ca:e2
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
fxp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 192.168.3.255
ether 00:02:b3:89:62:52
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
faith0: flags=8000<MULTICAST> mtu 1500
What I need to do is:
1) Wipe the configurations for fxp0 and fxp1 completely.
2) Add the new settings.
Here are the details from the new provider:
Network: 65.39.193.144
Gateway: 65.39.193.145
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.240
Useable IP Range: 65.39.193.152 - 154
fxp0 will be plugged into a switch which in turn will be plugged into
the providers switch.
I am somewhat confised about the terms. I know the subnet and one of the
available IPs need to be set, But I am wondering of the gateway is going to
be my switch address? and what I am supposed to do with the 'network'
IP?
3) CUrrently, I have two boxes that are connected to each other. (fxp1). I
want to add a third box, and have the three of them LANd using 192.168.0.1,
2, 3. My question is, can I pluc the three of them into the same local
switch as the internet connections (fxp0).
Here is what it shoould look like when finished:
Box 1
fxp0 65.39.193.152--------------->**********
fxp1 192.168.0.1----------------->* * ----->providers switch
* * (provider does routing)
* My *
Box 2 * Switch *
fxp0 65.39.193.152--------------->* *
fxp1 192.168.0.2----------------->* *
* *
Box3 * *
fxp0 65.39.193.153--------------->* *
fxp1 192.168.0.3----------------->* *
