networking

Update 5/31/2018: Please skip to end of thread for how I solved this on-going problem I had been having for several months Hi, I'm new to the thread and fairly new to FreeBSD, plus I'm coming over from FreeNAS, so please bare with me (I understand the animosity). I'll try to include as much...

I have somewhat limited understanding about networking and I was wondering, that could I use my FreeBSD server as a router with a network switch, because the machine has only one Ethernet port. I would connect the FreeBSD router to the network switch and the network switch directly to the...

I'm trying to assign a public IP to a guest managed by bhyve. My host gave me 2 public IPs to use, which I'll refer to as (to obfuscate the real IP): 111.111.111.111 (host) 222.222.222.222 (webserver vm) The first, 111.111.111.111 is assigned to the host's interface, which has internet...

Hi, I'm trying to figure out to assign a real IP address to a bhyve vm running Ubuntu. (Real IP address means a public facing IP address assigned by the provider.) I add: vm switch add public em0 Then, I should omit: ifconfig_igb0_alias0="17.28.44.219 netmask n.n.n.n" in the rc.conf...

So I've been playing with a FreeBSD virtual setup to test network functionality, and the routing is awesome, especially vlan subinterfaces. Now I'm trying to make the FreeBSD machine behave as a network switch. One way to do that is to create a bridge and add all the ports to the bridge. This...

Normally, we have to put the network interface (e.g. em0 or igb0) when setting up jails. For example: jail_jailname_ip="192.168.1.100" jail_jailname_interface="igb0" If the network interface (physical card) is being sent as pass-thru via bhyve to a virtualized operating system running within...

Hey! So this is my second thread on the FreeBSD forums, and I'm trying to get the USB-AC51 by ASUS to work in FreeBSD. In the FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE release notes, it says that "urtwn(4) has been updated to support the ASUS USB-AC51", so it's supposed to be working. I've tried putting...

Greetings! I am having trouble understanding how to configure my network in the manner I desire. I googled around and searched the forums and have come across all kinds of stuff however I'm not sure what is best practice and such. I saw a lot of terms such as aliases, dummy interfaces, taps...

Hi there :) Someone has demonstrated for a while running OpenStack hosted on FreeBSD 11. Described right here For me that sounds awesome. I would like to have a similar setup now with FreeBSD 11 XEN and hosting OpenStack on Dom0. The minimum goal is to run FreeBSD as an Nova Compute Running...

I created a bad alias when attempting to setup networking for a jail. I ran ifconfig bce0 alias 192.168.1.111 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.4.255 when I should have done this ifconfig bce0 alias 192.168.4.111 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.4.255 I've corrected the problem but...

Hello everyone. I have a Windows 10 Workstation where I run a FreeBSD 10.3 Guest server over VMWare 12. This FreeBSD VM is meant to run multiple Apache/PHP/Wordpress instances on multiple jails. The FreeBSD guest is bridged through the HOST Ethernet NIC, where the HOST has the IP...

I'm currently running 11.0-RELEASE-p7 in one of those cheap 1€ aruba VPS machines servers for fun. Their current control panel doesn't support ipv6 auto configuration therefore it must be configured manually. I'm able to configure the ipv6, but I lost connectivity a few seconds after boot. My...

Hi Network Guru's- I've been running 11-Release branch since 11 was well.... released. I think I'm on 11-RELEASE-p2. I compiled my own kernel to enable vimage and use iocage for jails. I am not using pf or doing anything "exotic" with networking (this is behind a separate firewall). So far...

Hi people, I'm trying to set up internet connection on FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE running at VMware VM but, when I try to ping google IPs, I get a 100% loss. Here is my rc.conf. I use default (for vmware) NAT connection and try to route traffic trought gateway ip (192.168.149.2). Please tell me...

Hello! I created bridge0 (172.16.0.1) device with few tapX network devices (172.16.0.2-X) (bridged together by bridge0) for bhyve vms. Then I created NAT (pf.conf), that solves networking via wlan0 (wifi card). Why? Because simple bridging doesn't work with wlan0/wifi interfaces (NAT works)...

Hi, We're facing quite slow uploading speed on FreeBSD-10.X both over HTTP (NGINX) & over FTP. Hardware is quite strong with 4x1Gbps LACP / 65G RAM / 12x3TB SATA . There's not much load over HDDs so i suspect that maybe tcp tuning has some problem. Here is my sysctl.conf...

Hello, I'm currently running a server based on FreeBSD 10.3. I'm using jails to separate all the running services. Since I only have one public IPv4 address, I use PF and a nginx-proxy to redirect to the specific jails inside the NAT. My plan is to use 11.0 and it's enhanced bhyve features to...

Hi people, I'm trying to set up a server with FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE on a VMware VM @ OVH (hosting company) but, when I try to ping, I get a "host name lookup failure". It's very strange because I copied /etc/rc.conf and /etc/resolv.conf from the previous working installation with FreeBSD...

Hi, LACP stopped working on FreeBSD-10.2 release with following error : Interface stopped DISTRIBUTING, possible flapping ---------------------------------------------------- More than that, we're unable to execute any command in FreeBSD console. Here is the screenshot where we're trying to...

Hello everyone. I will try to explain my setup as clear as I can. I have a Windows 10 Workstation where I run a FreeBSD VM on VMWare 12. This FreeBSD VM is meant to run multiple Apache/PHP/Wordpress instances on multiple jails. The FreeBSD guest is bridged through the HOST Ethernet NIC, where...
