Hi,
I've recently switched from a Netgear router to use pppOe for my public
internet ip on FreeBSD 5.4.
My machine has two nics: bge0 and re0, both of which support 1000baseTX
configurations, however neither of the two seem to be able to connect when I
configure them in /etc/rc.conf. Here's what works:
# Internal network
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
# No ifconfig_bge0 entry in /etc/rc.conf
# because ppp configures it automatically
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"
ppp_profile="myisp"
After booting, ifconfig yields this:
bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=1a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
inet6 fe80::211:11ff:febd:be3a%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
ether 00:11:11:bd:be:3a
media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
status: active
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet6 fe80::240:f4ff:feb4:841a%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:40:f4:b4:84:1a
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)

plip0: flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384

inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
inet x.x.x.x --> y.y.y.y netmask 0xffffffff
Opened by PID 211
Notice that bge0 media is 10baseT/UTP and re0 is 100baseTX
Here's what DOESN'T work: (may wrap)
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 1000baseTX mediaopt
full-duplex"
ifconfig_bge0="media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex"
# No inet or netmask in ifconfig_bge0, as it is assumed ppp will supply this.
When I reboot and run ifconfig, both of these interfaces have "status: no
carrier"
Does anyone have experience configuring either of these Nics? And,
especially, what sort of config options can I use to exploit the faster
connect speed on the pppOe interface?
Thanks!
