Hiya!
I have a FreeBSD box with an ethernet interface and a slip interface.
I use the slip interface for my (analog) leased line (USR courier).
My FreeBSD box uses IP nums 172.16.16.1 (sl0) and 172.16.16.2 (ed0).
I have a SparcStation, which has an officially assigned IP number,
which is 194.195.236.98.
All I want to do is
route add -host -interface 194.195.236.98 172.16.16.2
on the FreeBSD box. However, It complains with:
<date> haiti /kernel: arp_rtrequest: bad gateway value
(I also sometimes get a message complaining about arp llookup or so)
I have tried many things, but could not get it to work. BTW: Earlier,
ed0 and sl0 had the same IP num - no difference (what surprise).
NB: I could do a setup like this on my SS - no problems there.
I currently use FreeBSD 2.1.5-release. I had the same probs with
2.1.0-release and the 2.1.5 snaps I tested.
I do not think I'm missing something obvious here, since it all goes
well on the SS :-(
Am I the only one who wants a setup like this?
TIA,
--
