You didn't specify which OS platform. However, most OSes allow you to associate an IP address with a NIC via command. We do this in our TSM server startup script. If one NIC fails, you can just un-associate it from the dead NIC and re-associate with the other NIC. No impact to users or DNS that way.
On AIX, this would look something like this: /usr/sbin/chdev -l en0 -a alias4=1.2.3.4,255.255.255.192 ..Paul At 04:56 PM 6/26/2007, Daad Ali wrote:
Hi ALL, I have a server that has two interfaces configured (Two IP addresses as well). Without using EtherChannel or any redunancy like that, is there a way to tell the client to use the 2nd interface incase the first one fails. thanks, Daad --------------------------------- All new Yahoo!
