Hello! It sounds strange to me, that you got 30 IPs assigned to 1 NIC and you ran out of usable ones. Didn't you think about changing size of your subnet assigned to that NIC? If you'll assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 you'll get 254 usable IPs. Now you can forget about your 2nd NIC. All you have to do (after changing the subnet mask on server) is to change mask on hosts in your network (you can leave other settings unchanged). Hope it will work for you.

routing, 2 nics, and a default gateways
Hi list, I need help on this problem: I have 2 nics. The first has about 30 ips assigned to it and working correctly. The other was a backup nic for the ISP backup network, but its now I was asked to assign ips and a default gateway specification to it,because we ran out of usable ips on the 1st nic, so we have a new netblock ready for assignment. The trouble is, I don't know how to this remotely without cutting the internet access from this server. I thought on adding the ips to the 2nd nic (about 60 of them), but I don't know how I can make the default route for this nic to work. As far as i know, as soon as I type route add default gateway-of-2nd-nick ,the internet connection will be dropped. I don't know, have never tried this kind of setup. Any help would be appreciated! -- http://www.6s-gaming.com - your online store! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ok, you have 30 ips assigned by your ISP on your external nic. Gotcha. You have lets say one ?private IP? on your internal nic. The trouble is, I don't know how to this remotely without cutting the internet access from this server. I thought on adding the ips to the 2nd nic (about 60 of them), but I don't know how I can make the default route for this nic to work. As far as i know, as soon as I type route add default gateway-of-2nd-nick ,the internet connection will be dropped. I don't know, have never tried this kind of setup. Any help would be appreciated! Are these new ips all public ips assigned from your ISP? Will some of these public ips be used on machines behind the internal backup nic? Since you have 30 ips on one nic you are well aware of ifconfig fxp0 alias 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.255 type of usage... How about describing your goals better and maybe I can help. m -- http://www.6s-gaming.com - your online store! ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
