So does that means each of the interface has an ip eg 192.168.0.1 on wm1
192.168.0.2 on wm2 and so on and then just bridge all the interface. Ill try
that . for now only wm1 had an ip the rest did not have an ifconfig.wmx file

No. You should not set an ip address on any of the interfaces. You create a bridge interface, connect all the physical interfaces to the bridge interface, and you set an ip address on the bridge interface.

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.

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

Ok



    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.

    Thanks
