A great situation to make use of bonding ! Check out /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt, it has all the information you need to get it set up and even describes different scenarios. Some of these require switch configuration. All in all its very trivial to get going with.

If you want both cards to use the same network configuration, I think you'll want to use VRRP. I haven't tried the following, but here is a userland implementation of VRRP: http://off.net/~jme/vrrpd/ And this page from the Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO describes a simple config with vrrpd: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.other.html HTH. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
