Ng fec

From FBSD_tips

This bonding scheme works with (maybe only) Cisco hardware.

Based on the man page, I set up a quad enet NIC, a ANA-6944A/TX (de x 4)

This 'load balance' is based on a 'host per port' organization. Therefore it is more suitable for a server, which has connections to multiple clients. It can organize based on MAC address or IP address.

ngctl has an output mode that creates a 'dot' (graphviz data).

Setup :

mkpeer fec dummy fec
msg fec0: add_iface "de0"
msg fec0: add_iface "de1"
msg fec0: add_iface "de2"
msg fec0: add_iface "de3"
msg fec0: set_mode_inet
ifconfig de0 promisc
ifconfig de1 promisc
ifconfig de2 promisc
ifconfig de3 promisc

The Cisco automatically 'detects' this configuration.

ngctl has an output mode that creates a 'dot' (graphviz data) file.
