eth0 is the first eithernet port. Did you go in and take a look at my config
files on the switch?

What is the error you are seeing?
As to the axip port, again go in and take a look at my files and see how it
was done.

KISS is what is run over the axip connection, look at my file below and set
yours up accordingly. You will be running UDP for the connection.

Yes, let us take it over to the list, that way all can use it. You are
the second

can remember that way it is one less way for a no-no to get into the network
here.
