Ok, after a good portion of fiddling with the switch, it seems that you cannot copy traffic from link-aggregated ports to a monitor port on a Linksys SRW2016. Now out at my wits end here it seems.

Exactly. But I connect to a switch and hence expect the behaviour detailed above. Now, it is my suspicion that the apparent need for promisc at the router end indeed is an apperent one and not really the router's fault but rather the other end's. The other end, in this case, is the server below. If the server, with its single MIB, default-routes its packets through one specific of its vlans which may not be the one, at the router's end, with the corresponding IP network the traffic entered into the net, would it be possible that there's something preventing them be received? Unless there's promisc on, of course... I'll grab the laptop next time I think of it and have the switch monitor traffic to it to see what really is on the wire, maybe that helps and gives me a clue.

It is my intention to insert 4 to 8 FIBs asap but I currently don't know when I take my time doing so. Generally speaking, or rather, inquiring, has anyone ever done FIBs with ezjail? It probably is very easy, and I consider(ed) looking into it myself but I currently spend about max. an hour every 2-3 days on FreeBSE so I don't really progress.

I can't think of any implication in a switched ethernet environment. It is just that every frame received from the cable is offered to the operating system for further evaluation. In a switched ethernet environment every frame that will reach your card will be either: 1) for you. 2) a broadcast frame. 3) a multicast frame.

Yes, from FreeBSD-7.1 and beyond, there is support for up to 16 routing tables. Use the setfib command to select routing table for outgoing connections. Something like, "setfib 10 jail $JAILOPTSANDARGS", in the jail case. You have to compile a kernel with the option ROUTETABLES=n.

FreeBSD Networking Questions / vlan, lagg, routing, FIBs, ezjail
Dear all, While I'm at it, I don't seem to be able to get my head around some networking items I observed (currently only vlan(4), not ng_vlan(4), if that makes a difference): - On my router, why do I have to set the base interface to promiscuous mode in order to get packets from/to my vlans through? Am I doing something wrong? Are there any implications of working this way? - On my "server", is there any way to set up individual "default" routes (to the router) for each of the vlans short of tucking the ezjails behind the vlan interfaces each into their own FIB (btw,. has anyone ever done that?)? So I'm stuck and would appreciate a hand. It probably is something pretty obvious which I persistently ignore, or something stupid I attempt to do here but I got curious now :) Thanks a lot, and All the best, Peter. -- Nur bis 16.03.!

Because you don't hear anything? 1) Make sure you have a sound driver loaded. To see if ou have a sound driver loaded, try 'cat /dev/sndstat'. If that returns 'No such file or directory' there is indeed no sound driver loaded. I'm not sure is the 4232 is supported. Grepping through the sound driver sources, I see the following CS chips: CS4281, CS4610/CS4611, CS4280/CS4614/CS4622/CS4624/CS4630, CS4615 No 4232 to be found. 2) IIRC, the output volume is set to 0 when you first load a sound driver. You can change that with the 'mixer' program, e.g. 'mixer vol 50'. > 3. The network I try to build is just a small LAN at home, > with computers 192.168.0.1 (my 2.2GHz) and .2 (my 600E) > involved.

Add the IP addresses with the corresponding hostnames to /etc/hosts on both machines, and check that /etc/nsswitch.conf contains a line 'hosts: files dns', so that the names can be resolved to IP addresses. To chare files between the two PCs, set up an NFS share on the desktop that you can mount on the laptop.

Sound on Thinkpad and Networking questions
Hi, the newbie Lars here again - still working on NOT being a newbie soon...! ;) New problems with FreeBSD 5.4 on my IBM Thinkpad 600E: 1. I try to get the sound to work, but I never manage to make! I have tried to recompile the kernel, as described in the FreeBSD Handbook I chapter 8. First I found a website dedicated to Thinkpad600E and FreeBSD 4.7, but the lines presented there didn't work. Instead I went to chapter 7 in the handbook where it describes how I will change the kernel to work with a Crystal 4232 Soundcard, so I guess I got the right lines for the kernel. But when it comes to building the kernel it says that it doesn't know devices with the names pcm or csa. So, I am kind of stuck... HELP! 2. To learn networking I have connected the Thinkpad to my 2.2Ghz Intel-machine, but I must admit that still has too less knowledge about networking. I have configured the network cards so I can now ping both computers, but I need to know more - does anyone have any suggestions about essential reading (books, websites, other) about networking FreeBSD/Linux/Windows? 3. The network I try to build is just a small LAN at home, with computers 192.168.0.1 (my 2.2GHz) and .2 (my 600E) involved. Could I give them other names?

Hi All, I am new to the list, but I have tried researching the archives and couldn't find exactly what I am looking for and would like your opinion on how to do this: I have a 4Meg DSL connection with Multiple Static IPs. 69.63.33.### is my main IP that my router or System that does authentication will always get. 209.213.231.###/29 is my block of 8 other IP's that route to my main IP. Right now I have my fsb box running mail/web and other services and I would like it to do the routing for my internal network of 4 or so computers. I have a Hub that I can plug these other systems in to so that is not a problem. What would be the best way to use my block of statics and have them Route properly through my BSD box. I would like to stay away from NAT as I know it right now, broadband router, as it causes havoc with my filesharing programs and would like to have my other systems pretty much open to the internet and then start locking them down as need be once I get them seeing the outside world and the outside world seeing them.

RE: Networking Questions
Hello Bryan Cassidy, You might save yourself some trouble by buying a very cheap ready-to-go appliance router like the NR041 for $32.99 from Buy.com: http://www.buy.com/retail/product_jump.asp?sku=10329936&SearchEngine=ya&SearchTerm=10329936&Type=1103&Category=Comp&dcaid=17194 I carry one to client sites as it's no bigger than a standard 4 port hub. (I build and use my own FreeBSD gateways at home.) I think you might prefer using a dedicated device until you're more comfortable with networking.

Networking Questions
OK. The PC I am using now is the one I like to do all my work on but want to get a router. I was told to find a older PC and set it up as a router. Well, I have the extra PC now and I just need to set it up. My main PC runs apache webserver, php, squirrelmail, courier-imap, cups and a few other things. I have never done any kind of networking like this but could some people explain some things for me so I can have them cleared up so the next time I'm reading a doc I can understand what's going on? Just simple/or complex things about networking would work. Like, gatewa, router, etc. I think you get the idea. I think I know how this should be setup but please tell me if this is wrong on how to setup this other pc as a router. I have my main PC connected directly to the DSL right now. I take the other PC place it somewhere close to this machine. Put another (which would make 2 NICs in the router PC) Hook the DSL cable into one of the NICs on the router, run it to the DSL modem it's self, then connect another DSL cable into the other NIC on the router machine and plug it into my main PC. If this isn't correct please correct me. I would really appreciate it. I have everything I just need to hook it up and know where to get started on setting this machine up correctly and have my main pc still run the same way it is doing now with all the services I have running. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
