RE: creating a netbsd router

Thanks Everyone

Agr does not work because you have to remove all IPs from the interface, before you add them.. and then theres no way to add an IP to the agr. Eg 192.168.0.1 I need this ip so that it becomes the LAN gateway for my internal PCs.

Im checking briding, for now I could not get it to work will investigate this further.

Thanks again everyone

I have a device with 8 network interface,so wondering if I can set this up as my router/switch

I would like to create eth0 as the WAN interface and the remaining eth1-6 as the LAN interface so that I can connect multiple switches and devices directly on the 7 remaining ports.. is vlan, bridging the way to go .. linux uses bonding and im not sure if freebsds lagg is the same thing.. Anyone can provide information or link on how I can achieve this.

Yes you can. You can use bridging, setting VLAN and agrégate interfaces like Linux with the agr(4)

http://man-k.org/man/NetBSD-current/4/agr?r=1&q=Agr

So eth0 would have a public Ip while the rest ports would have one LAN IP whichis basically a 192.168.0.1 ip and Irun DHCP namedb etc on these interface to support my LAN.

Yes, eth0 can be wan with the public IP and the rest can be LAN, setting dhcp over any interfaz and setting a DNS cache.

Please review the npf.conf manual for information about the firewall program

http://man-k.org/man/NetBSD-current/5/npf.conf?r=2&q=Npf.conf

Bes regards.
