Joe, TCP/IP is always routed based on the IP addresses used. If you want your traffic to go over the gigabit card:
If it's on a machine that will be a server for transaction X, then specify to your client the host name or IP address of the gigabit card. If it's on a machine that will be a clinet for transaction X, then specify an IP or hostname of the server that will naturally route over the desired network interface. If you are adding the gigabit ethernet as a second IP on the same network, this is generally bad form and you won't be able to force traffic over the card. I think this usually will round-robin on outbound packets. If you are adding the gigabit card to a network that the server is not also connected to, then you will have to specify routing in order to move this traffic to the card. Note that routing configuration has to be configured on each system involved if it's not via connection routes. There is no such thing as a default NIC in Solaris. You have a default route, which is where any traffic will go that is not otherwise routed elsewhere. This applies to all TCP/IP operations and not just TSM. -Josh On 04.03.23 at 10:28 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 10:28:32 -0500 > From: "Wholey, Joseph (IDS DM&DS)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: GIGE connectivity via TSM > > This should be an easy one for most...
