Multihome on FreeBSD 7.2
Hi, I have a DELL server with dual port nic card on it. The NICs are connected to the same VLAN. I would like to configure the server so that both NIC cards are redundant that if one goes down the second one would pick up and continue. So I would need both ports to be configured with the same IP addresses of the server. Is there something that I need to configure or add to /etc/rc.conf?

You may want to look at lagg(4) in LACP mode: %grep lagg /etc/rc.conf cloned_interfaces=lagg0 ifconfig_lagg0=laggproto lacp laggport re0 laggport age0 ipv4_addrs_lagg0=208.70.104.110/25 Your switch will need to be capable of LACP as well, and be configured in a similar manner.
