2 LAN card interfaces in HP-Ux

[misin4u]

we added two new LAN card interface LAN4 and LAN 5
LAN 5 is configured properly with default gateway and its pingable
but we have problem with LAN 4 connecting to default gateway

I already configured the static route with LAN5 interface.

Hi,
Can you post lanscan output.


Try to re-configure from SAM

By their IP addresses, it looks like your lan4 and lan5 are connected to the same IP segment.

Using two physical LAN interfaces and IP addresses to connect to a single network segment is not a recommended configuration.

If you want two physical interfaces for extra capacity, use APA to join them together into a single aggregate interface, then assign the IP address to the aggregate.

If you want two IP addresses, use IP aliases on a single LAN interface (which may be the aggregate interface produced by APA).
