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 ?
