Hi

I have configured pseudo ethernet interfaces with the following
requirements:
1. There is a ethernet interface fxp0 having MAC address MAC0. It also
receives packets with destination MAC address MAC1 and MAC2.
2. The packets with destination MAC address MAC1 are sent to pseudo
interface 1, nge0 and packets with destination MAC address MAC2 are sent
to pseudo interface 2, nge1.

This has been done using netgraph as follows:
fxp0: <--> bpf <--> bpf <--> interface0
            \        \
             \        ------>interface1
              \
               \------------>interface2

I have used ng_eiface nodes impemented by Vitaly
(available at http://www.riss-telecom.ru/~vitaly/) for  interface1/2. I
have set fxp0 in promiscuous mode.

Could you suggest why I am unable to ping the pseudo ethernet interface
IP addresses from any of the LAN machines?

Is it because fxp0 is capable of sending packets only with its own MAC address and not MAC
addresses of nge0 and nge1?

My ifconfig settings and routing table entries are given below.
