Hello, I want to setup a bridge in a ring topology since a break at any point along the ring would still leave all stations connected. My machine has two nics. In /etc/rc.conf, I have: ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" cloned_interfaces="bridge0" ifconfig_em0="up" ifconfig_em1="up" ifconfig_bridge0="addm em0 addm em1 up" ifconfig_bridge0_alias0="192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" I tried to boot my clients using tftpd, but it seems doesn't work if I unpluged em0. If I run "ifconfig em1 inet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" then my clients can boot via tftpd. But it's not a bridge, right? I mean should I configure the same ip for em0, em1, and bridge0? Thanks. Dave.
