nic aggregation/teaming (AFT or similar)

2005-01-06 Thread Jev
Hi all,
I want to find out if there is any support for NIC teaming (AFT) in 
FreeBSD. I found this post from 2000
http://groups.google.ca/groups?hl=enlr=threadm=8c72ap%24le4%241%40nnrp1.deja.comrnum=1prev=/groups%3Fq%3D%2522FreeBSD%2520does%2520NOT%2520support%2520Cabletron%27s%2520SmartTrunking%2522%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN%26tab%3Dwg

Has there been any developments with this? We are using AFT with dual 
intel nics for switch redundancy on Linux boxes. I really want to try 
and move to FreeBSD, and this is the only major issue that I can see.

Any information is greatly appreciated,
-Jev

Have a look at netgraph
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=netgraphsektion=4apropos=0manpath=FreeBSD+5.3-RELEASE+and+Ports

I am not really shure if this is what you are looking for but maybe :)

if you're looking for single-path redundancy and not increased throughput, you
could use CARP (patches are here: http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/CARP/).

the patches apply cleanly to 5.x, and seem to work just fine. if you need more
information, check the list archives.

good luck!
