Hi List,
I've a gateway running FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE doing ip filtering,
routing and ipx routing among 4 internal networks and 4 external networks.
Everything was working perfectly, with the following network
adapters: one 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL, two Intel 82559 Pro/100
Ethernet and one quad D-Link DFE-550TX 10/100BaseTX. I had one network
attached to each network interface, the ef module loaded to support
multiple novell ethernet frames types, ipxgateway enable and ipxrouted
-s running. Due to need of more ip addresses on a new departament of the
company, I need to configure a new network on this gateway, then I
decided to put an existent network and the new one at a single network
interface putting each network on a single vlan.
After change the configuration the stations on the vlan networks
can't reach the Novell server.
The old configuration:
fxp0: external network
fxp1: external network
xl0: external network
ste0: internal network 1
ste0f0: internal ipx network Ethernet_II
ste0f1: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.3
ste0f2: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.2
ste0f3: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.2/SNAP
ste1: internal network 2
ste1f0: internal ipx network Ethernet_II
ste1f1: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.3
ste1f2: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.2
ste1f3: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.2/SNAP
ste2: internal netowrk 3
ste2f0: internal ipx network Ethernet_II
ste2f1: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.3
ste2f2: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.2
ste2f3: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.2/SNAP
ste3: internal network 4
ste3f0: internal ipx network Ethernet_II
ste3f1: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.3
ste3f2: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.2
ste3f3: internal ipx network Ethernet_802.2/SNAP
In the new configuration I added two vlans attached to ste3 then:
vlan4: internal network 4 parent ste3
vlan6: internal network 5 parent ste3
The ste3f* interfaces continue configured as before.
My doubt is when I created the vlans the system should be created
vlan4f* or the ipx should work in the same ste3f* interfaces...
The only thing that is not working is ipx access from network 4 to
novell server at network 1.
Any Ideas ??
Best Regards,
Alexandre
