hi, i have 7 ips on one box, however they can't connect internally to each other IP ports. please advise.
Counting below, you only reference 6 IP addresses on the box: 63.223.65.192, 63.223.65.193, 63.223.71.2, 63.223.71.3, 63.223.71.4, and 63.223.71.5. What's the seventh one?
here's my setup:
rc.conf: defaultrouter="63.223.65.1" ifconfig_sis0="inet 63.223.65.192 netmask 255.255.255.0"
/etc/ips.added: ifconfig sis0 inet 63.223.65.193/32 alias
Ok. BTW, these statements indicate that you own an entire class C of public address space. That seems unlikely, and if it's not the case, you shouldn't be using the addresses.
ifconfig sis0 inet 63.223.71.2/32 alias ifconfig sis0 inet 63.223.71.3/32 alias ifconfig sis0 inet 63.223.71.4/32 alias ifconfig sis0 inet 63.223.71.5/32 alias
Problem here. These addresses are not in the same subnet as the primary address (63.223.65.0/24). Therefore you shouldn't use a /32 for them, you should use the actual netmask. This is definitely true for the FIRST 63.223.71.x address, and I *think* it's true for the others as well. I've never actually seen an example of assigning multiple IPs for a second subnet under FreeBSD.
route add 63.223.65.193 63.223.65.1
This is broken. You're saying "route any traffic this host is sending, destined for itself, to an external gateway". I really doubt you want to do that.
route add 63.223.71.2 63.223.71.1 route add 63.223.71.3 63.223.71.1 route add 63.223.71.4 63.223.71.1 route add 63.223.71.5 63.223.71.1
Again broken, for the same reasons. You don't normally enter routing statements for your OWN IP addresses, you enter routing statements that describe how to reach OTHER addresses/networks.
