OK, I secure shell to that interface specifically from my desktop with the other interface down. I thought I stated that in my first email. I don't see what being on the same subnet has to do with pinging the card from another machine. If I am able to ping the card and or secure shell to the card the interface is up. Of course I have in on the same subnet. I have a vlan, and all my servers and my desktop are on the same subnet to save on network traffic. The rest of my company is on a separate subnet (keeps them away from me). I am setting up a new Oracle RAC and to install the ASM database, it want's to see "RUNNING" in the output from ifconfig, from both the primary interface and the interface I am using for the private interconnect. Can you tell me how I could secure shell to this interface via putty on my W2K box with the other interface down, if it wasn't running, whether it is on the same subnet or not?

Shutting down one of the interfaces and ping'ing something else on the same subnet doesn't verify it since BOTH interfaces are on the same subnet. Did you tcpdump the interface to see what's going on? Change the IP address for one of the interfaces and see what happens. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- 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
