Hi !
I would to ask if it is possible to link two
routers A and B via ethernet interfaces
but configure the link with two different addresses
which could not possibly be part of the same IP subnet ?
For example
intf a 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255
intf b 172.25.28.1 netmask 255.255.255.255
in sketch below.
----- ----
| | a b | |
| A |---------------------| B |
| | ethernet | |
----- -----
Intuitively I would expect this needs to be configured as a Point-To-Point
interface. Can the Point-to-Point flag be set on an ethernet interface in
FreeBSD ?
Is the above setup feasible/valid from an IP networking point of view ?
TIA
