In Mac OS X Yosemite, I want to be able to create a virtual interface with a Static IP that’s tied to both my Ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces, so that when I undock my laptop, I don’t lose my SSH connections.
The simple answer of just working off of Wi-Fi isn’t acceptable as the network hits congestion or signal constraints and I get awful lag or drop connections sitting at my desk. Bridging the adapters using Mac OS X’s built in option creates a network loop that I don’t seem to be able to avoid—even using spanning tree—unless I’ve over looked something.
Any suggestions?
**Edit Screen is not a good solution. I already use it on the server side when I'm connected because of this issue. I don't want to lose my ssh connection at all when I switch interfaces, meaning, I don't want to have to reconnect and reauth every time I switch from ethernet to wifi. I usually have upwards of 10 ssh sessions going, and it's a lot to reconnect them all
Why not just configure a static IP address? – David Schwartz – 2015-02-25T09:57:23.877
