Re: creating a netbsd router

I seriously doubt agr is what you wanted anyway.
It's for if you want to have multiple parallell connections between two 
devices in order to increase capacity. Ie. aggregate link.

A bridge is what you want if you have multiple connections locally, but 
you want them to all be associated with just one device locally, and 
they should also be able to communicate directly between two ports 
without your host being involved. Ie, a hub or a switch like function, 
with just one interface for your local machine, which works the same as 
any other port on the bridge. It's all like one ethernet segment.

But you need to understand how you actually set it up to get it working. 
You should not be playing with the individual interfaces... Just add 
them all to the bridge interface, and then you use the bridge interface.
