/31 on 2 interfaces

Wed May 17 00:13:59 UTC 2006

Hello,

I have 2 servers with both 2x 'em' interfaces in it.
I configged a /31 on both interfaces
em0 in box 1 = 10.0.0.1
em0 in box 2 = 10.0.0.2
both connected with a crossed cable.
But I can't ping from box1 to box2 or reverse.

So now my question:
Is it not possible to set a /31 on FreeBSD ?
I'm using FreeBSD 6.1 on both servers.

/etc/rc.conf =
box1:
ifconfig_em0="inet 10.0.0.1  netmask 255.255.255.254"
box2:
ifconfig_em0="inet 10.0.0.2  netmask 255.255.255.254"

When I configure a /30 on my interfaces,
then they ping.

Greetings.
