Hiya,
I've installed a FreeBSD system (2.1 Release) as my gateway to the Internet.
I'm having an impossible time getting the routing set up correctly. Here's
a simple diagram of my setup:
56k Frame Relay
WAN Side ----------------[Router]----------------{FreeBSD}------------ LAN Side
ed1 ed0
x.x.x.253 x.x.x.252 x.x.x.251 x.x.x.35
0x300 irq 11 0x280 irq5
The problem I'm having is that I can't ping the router from a login on
the FreeBSD machine. I also can't ping ed1. I keep getting the message
that the host is down. What I thought I had to do to get this to work was:
ifconfig ed0 inet x.x.x.251
ifconfig ed1 inet x.x.x.252 x.x.x.253
route add x.x.x.251 localhost
route add default x.x.x.253
Can anyone help me with this? Is it that my router MUST be on a different
network? Is there any way to get it to work in this configuration? I
also don't have GATEWAY compiled into my kernel nor Gateway set to YES in
/etc/sysconfig. Are they absolutely necessary? I'm trying to use this
machine as a bastion host firewall.
Any help will really be appreciated. I had to have this working yesterday,
of course.
