I've been building boatloads of ether-to-ether routers for ADSL and other customers lately. Today I get a call from someone using token ring on his LAN that wants one of my homebrew firewalls for an ADSL connection. I notice in LINT that some Olicom token ring adapters are supported. Having never played with token ring before, I'm wondering how tough it will be to route IP through a machine with ethernet and token ring. Is it really as easy as listing oltr0 in rc.conf as an interface with an IP? (Please please please please please. :-) Will dhcpd work on the oltr0 interface (dhcpd requires bpf)? ifconfig_mx0="inet 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_oltr0="inet 192.168.200.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" network_interfaces="mx0 lo0 oltr0" gateway_enable="YES" Thanks for any pointers... jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
