When we set up the current site, the colo admin set up ifconfig for us. He will not be available to set up at the new colo site :-) I have been reading the man articles for ifconfig and am still slightly confised. If anyone can help I would be greatfull. Here is the current setup: fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 205.150.82.194 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 205.150.82.207 ether 00:b0:d0:f9:ca:e2 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active fxp1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 192.168.3.255 ether 00:02:b3:89:62:52 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 faith0: flags=8000 mtu 1500 What I need to do is: 1) Wipe the configurations for fxp0 and fxp1 completely. 2) Add the new settings. Here are the details from the new provider: Network: 65.39.193.144 Gateway: 65.39.193.145 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.240 Useable IP Range: 65.39.193.152 - 154 fxp0 will be plugged into a switch which in turn will be plugged into the providers switch. I am somewhat confised about the terms. I know the subnet and one of the available IPs need to be set, But I am wondering of the gateway is going to be my switch address? and what I am supposed to do with the 'network' IP? 3) CUrrently, I have two boxes that are connected to each other. (fxp1). I want to add a third box, and have the three of them LANd using 192.168.0.1, 2, 3. My question is, can I pluc the three of them into the same local switch as the internet connections (fxp0). Here is what it shoould look like when finished: Box 1 fxp0 65.39.193.152--------------->********** fxp1 192.168.0.1----------------->* * ----->providers switch * * (provider does routing) * My * Box 2 * Switch * fxp0 65.39.193.152--------------->* * fxp1 192.168.0.2----------------->* * * * Box3 * * fxp0 65.39.193.153--------------->* * fxp1 192.168.0.3----------------->* * ********** -Grant To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
