Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 15:52:15 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.1960.3) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I have a FreeBSD 2.2.6 system which was routing between two subnets, 10.97.8.0 and 10.97.88.0. Both use the netmask of 255.255.255.0. The subnets were each on their own physical LAN segments. RIP worked fine for this small network. I use routed -s (and have also used gated just to play with it.) Now, I lost one of the physical subnets. I physically have both 10.97.8.0 and 10.97.88.0 on the same physical segment. I've modified the configuration to use an alias. Now I can't seem to get routed (or gated) propagate routing information for the subnet configured via the alias. rc.conf was: ifconfig_vx0="inet 10.97.8.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.97.88.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" now: ifconfig_vx0="inet 10.97.8.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_vx0_alias0="10.97.88.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" I also tried using a netmask of 255.255.255.255 but 1) this doesn't work either and 2) I don't believe it is what I need anyway. I do not want another host entry on the same subnet, I want to "multinet" two subnet networks on the same physical Ethernet and route between subnets. Is this supposed to even work (i.e. is multinetting even supported in FreeBSD)? If so, is anyone else doing it and can you suggest what I might be doing wrong? Thanks, MikeC Michael C.
