I have a few follow-up questions to your answer. I'm not using netgraph (at least at the moment). Will this matter? I assume 'ifconfig lmc0 up' is all I need to do to bring the interface up prior to "route add -iface lmc0..." On FreeBSD, do I need to do anything special to run OSPF or BGP4 over an unnumbered interface? (If I remember correctly RIP doesn't support an unnumbered interface.) I have four of these lmc cards. Besides the leased line monthly charges ... am I crazy doing this on FreeBSD? They all work in one machine at the moment (4.5-Stable). I'm just starting to get the p2p routing setup (it has been a long time.) Are 4 unnumbered interfaces supported in one machine? Can they all point to the same next hop? 4 different next hops? A combination?

Yes, this still works.. e.g., "route add 1.2.3.4 -iface ng0". The interface has to be marked 'UP' of course. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
