FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE (Generic) #0. I'm using an SMC9432TX 10/100 card.
in rc.conf I've got:
network_interfaces="tx0 lo0"
ifconfig_tx0="inet 209.53.238.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 media autoselect"
ifconfig_tx0_alias0="inet 209.53.238.30 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_tx0_alias1="inet 209.53.238.31 netmask 255.255.255.0"
while the .11 address works fine, the .30 &.31 addresses do not.
(I've tried several available IP's, 29, 30, 31, 32).
an ifconfig -a shows:
tx0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 209.53.238.11 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.53.238.255
inet 209.53.238.30 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.53.238.255
inet 209.53.238.31 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.53.238.255
ether 00:e0:29:2f:8b:7e
media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
while a ping to 209.53.238.11 works fine, a ping to the other one(s)
shows:
ping: sendto: Host is down
and sometimes:
ping -c3 209.53.238.30
PING 209.53.238.30 (209.53.238.30): 56 data bytes
--- 209.53.238.30 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
any ideas what may be wrong?
