I'm using multiple fibs in production, and it shouldn't behave that way. Can you do the following and send me output? 1) issue `route -n monitor` and log all messages 2) add first address to interface 3) do route -n get network_address (e.g. XX.XX.XX.16/28) for added prefix (in fib 0 and fib 1) 4) remove this address 5) repeat step 3 6) add this prefix to another port 7) repeat step 3 > > I have routed running with this /etc/gateways: > > ripv2 > if=tun0 no_rip > if=tun1 no_rip > if=et0 no_rip > if=et1 no_rip > if=igb2 no_rip > if=igb3 no_rip > rdisc_interval=45 > no_ag > no_super_ag > subnet=X.Y.Z.56/30,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.0/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.8/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.16/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.24/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.32/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.40/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.48/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.64/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.72/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.80/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.88/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.96/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.104/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.112/29,1 > subnet=X.Y.Z.120/29,1 > > The problem occurs when configuring the primary address or an alias in any > port, after unconfigure some other address. > > Using > > # uname -a > FreeBSD XXX 9.1-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p4 #10: Thu Aug 1 19:04:09 > BRT 2013 XXX:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/XXX_KERNEL amd64 > > A custom system with 0 thru 15 FIBs, FWD in ipfw, and VNET/VIMAGE all > enabled. > > Thank you! > Raimundo Santos > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlJfjFIACgkQwcJ4iSZ1q2k4WwCgou/pnKqoiYtrsfGO8u/iqAOf Mi0AoJcBXUYKj84OetTK6ZE3St4VjcMb =O2X/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
