I am working on a project where I would like to take two fast ethernet NICs and tie them to a Cisco switch for a 200 mbps connection. I have gotten the ifconfig vlan switch to properly connect a single NIC to a single switched port, but the ifconfig vlan switch appears to be limited to supporting a sole network card. I would greatly appreciate any input or experience on this matter. Respectfully, Drew B. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
