2 lan cards

jedd — Sat, 09 Mar 2002 21:22:33 GMT

hello there
i'm not too good on network issues so i hope somebody can help.
i have 2 NIC and need to configure them. i did everything through SAM, but still a little confused on the netconf file.
lan0(primary)= 10.24.1.x subnet 255.255.254.0 gateway 10.24.1.1.
lan1(for doing backup)= 10.24.6.x subnet 255.255.254.0 gateway 10.24.6.1.
my question is in my netconf file do i need the ROUTE_* parameters for both my lan cards or should 1 just be enough, if i need the ROUTE_* parameters? where do i put it on lan0 or lan1? to what gateway should i be pointing it to? from what i understand since it's on the same subnet, gateway shouldn't really matter.
any help would be appreciated

Jedd,

Read this exerpt:

if you are running HP-UX 11, you can use ndd to set ip_strong_es_model to one. This causes route lookups o include the source IP address in addition to the destination IP address. One effect of this is that each interface can have a default route, and that traffic which arrives on one interface will have the reply go out that interface
