Hello,
Can anyone please tell me, how to configure SLIP interface between 2 free BSD
machines. I have 2 machines (x & y) running free BSD. One machine(x) is
connected to wired network of my department(CS Dept. in Texas A&M Univ.). And
also connected with another machine(y) by wireless netword(using wavelan
cards). I am also planning to have serial link between those two machines by
having SLIP connection between them.
x is currently configured as router and it is routing packets between cs wired
network and subnet for wireless network. So packets to/from y are passed
throught x. I want to set up SLIP link between them and want to configure x as
router for SLIP link too. ( I can disable wireless network for some time if I
have to). Is Configuration for routing same as for other type of networks like
ethernet?
Can anyone tell me how to configure for this setup and also for setting up
SLIP link? I tried to setup link by using /stand/sysinstall and following
"post installation configure" but that menu option does not show me the screen
which normally shows various interfaces and their setup. I could only see that
screen when I first installed BSD, there after I could never get that screen.
So I don't know how to setup SLIP connection.
Thanks for your valuable time.
Miten.
