Dual ethernet ports, one IP address
On a Sun server I once worked on with we had two ethernet ports
connected to the HUB but only one IP address was used for both. If one would fail, the other would take over on the same IP address. Is such functionality available in Linux? If so, where can I find documentation to set it up for Fedora with a 2.6 kernel? Hoshisato

Yes, you need to add the two interfaces to a bridge interface, then assign the IP address to the bridge interface. That should give you enough information to find the documentation. DS

Re: Dual ethernet ports, one IP address
Well, I'm looking for a failover mechanism where one ethernet interface
takes over from the other when it fails and continues with the same IP address. Clustering, but then on the same Linux server.

Re: Dual ethernet ports, one IP address
Perhaps is it possible for you to write an script? I would think it is
possible for a script to check the network interface and if one fail, automatically switch over to the other one?
