Hi,
I wish to run freebsd on some servers (hp blade servers).
Each server will be supplied with two nic's, both will have the same ip
and network mask.
like this:
snip
Suppose one switch will fail, then the link on one nic will be inactive.
Meaning is that than the second nic will become active traffic will go out
over the second nic.
Is this possible with freebsd, anybody got any experience with it?
Btw, could you also cc to my own adress [EMAIL PROTECTED]
What you need to somthing like Spanning Tree Protocol. STP allows
you to use multiple NIC's simultaneously, and prevents any loops
that could be caused.
FreeBSD does not have STP to my knowledge, but OpenBSD does.
