Multiple nics with loadlin

Multiple nics with loadlin

Post by Ken Willia » Mon, 27 Mar 2000 04:00:00



I have one etherexpress at irq 10 port df00 and one tulip card at irq 9 port
dc00.  Eveytime the kernel boots up, the etherexpress is eth0 and the tulip is
eth1.  I explicitly put

ether=9,0xdc00,eth0
ether=10,0xdf00,eth1

in my par file loadlin, but the tulip(irq 9) is still eth1, not eth0.

Anyone know how to get the tulip as eth0 with loadlin?

Full linux.par:

\loadlin\images\zImage
root=/dev/hda2
ro
vga=-1
ether=9,0xdc00,eth0
ether=10,0xdf00,eth1

 
 
 

1. multiple NICs, multiple IP addresses?

(This is related to my problem titled "need help w/ 2 NICs and - ping,
portmap, NFS, ...")

If a machine has more than one NIC, must they be on different subnets?
 Say,
192.168.10.x  and  192.168.11.x  and so forth?  Or can they be on the
same
subnet (192.168.10.1  and 192.168.10.2)?

Is it possible for them to share a single IP address????

TIA, -bob,mon.
