Hi,
I am trying to setup a 2.2 box to route packets
between two ethernet interfaces on one PC, the two
interfaces are reckonised as de0 (DEC21041 PCI) and
ed1 (ISA NE2000 Compatible),
I have assigned seperate IP's to each interface in
/etc/sysconfig but on start I get the error
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists,
if we ifconfig -a we get
de0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 194.x.x.99 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 194.x.x.255
ether 00:80:c8:37:70:ce
ed1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 194.x.x.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.0
ether 00:80:c8:37:b9:18
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
Note the broadcast on the second interface (ed1).
It must be possible to have two interfaces on one machine
as how do you efficiently build a firewall system ???
Any clues ???
