Re: Etherbet interface redundancy
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Roger 'Rocky' Vetterberg wrote: Is there a way to accomplish interface redundancy on machines with dual interface? You're right ng_onetomany uses all the interfaces unless one goes down which is not what you're talking about. FreeBSD does not provide this functionality by default, but there are many hardware vendors that do provide cards that offer interface redundancy w/o the need for special software interfaces. That being said, you could write something, even in shell script, to poll an interface, and when it's state changes to down, or the link is no longer active, bring up and configure a new interface. This would lose all the existing connections, but new connections would survive the failover. --- Mark atkin901 at NOSPAM yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired); ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just ifconfig your ipv6 address. IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack host connected to the 6bone through freenet6. Works with the freenet port. What this basically does is tunnel the the ipv6 traffic between two ipv4 hosts. act as an IPv6 gateway for the other PC, configured as an IPv6-only host and IPv4-only host by installing twice FreeBSD and using dual-boot. Is this possible to achieve? Does anybody know how to do this? Furthermo= Your setup is reasonable. You don't even need to dual boot the client behind the firewall, let it run dual/stack too. However, your setup will work the best if both the firewall and the client have publicly routeable ipv4 addresses. In other words NATing ipv4 via your firewall will probably break things. Ipv6 traffic from your client to your freenet6 enabled ipv6 router should work just fine. re, how can an application detect system's configuration (IPv4/IPv6, IPv4-only, IPv6-only)? By looking at the configured address. Most applications that are enabled for ipv6 are capable of running both ipv4 or ipv6 by abstracting the ipaddress type and changing to use a few different function calls (inet_ntop and inet_pton mainly). --- Mark atkin901 at NOSPAM yahoo dot com (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired); ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
