OpenBSD - Networking

To connect to a network (change the name of your ethernet card if is not fxp0)

# ifconfig -a #shows the network devices
# dhclient fxp0 #asks the dhcpd for an address

To set/change hostname for your machine:
```
# echo "my.superbsd.org">/etc/myname
```
To set static default gateway do
```
# echo "192.168.1.1">/etc/mygate
```
To configure fxp0 for dhcp do:
```
# echo "dhcp">/etc/hostname.fxp0
```
To configure static ip for fxp0 edit /etc/hostname.fxp0
```
inet 192.168.1.101 255.255.255.0 NONE
```

To aggregate two interfaces (fxp0 and re0) into one trunk with roundrobin:

# echo "up" >/etc/hostname.fxp0
# echo "up" >/etc/hostname.em0
# cat >/etc/hostname.trunk0
trunkproto roundrobin
trunkport em0
trunkport re0
inet 192.168.1.23 255.255.255.0
