Need help setting up 2nd LAN card

[David Johnson_6]

Hi,
I have an HP 9000 L2000 with 3 lan cards.
I want to set up the second card, lan1.
I could really use some white papers.
I and not not sure how to make the traffic from lan0 and lan1 completely separate.

You will need a different gateway/subnet to make them separate...

The "LAN Adminstrators Guide" is good - especcially chapter 6

If you can explain the scenario that you are trying to accomplish, help can be much more coincise. But as geoff said, you should have two different gateways on two different subnets to start with. And unless you are the network administartor, you will need help from them to give you ports on different subnets and they also need to give you the default gateway (router interface) ip addresses for each subnet. After all this information is in your hands, it is just setting up a new lan and adding some net routes.

Thank you for your answers.

Lan0 has al network traffic at this time.
I am setting up Lan1 to a separate router
for use on one application.

The admin will setup everything on the router side. All i need is address for server and the iether net side of the router.

I highly recommand you use SAM

According to this information you provided, you will receive an ip address for this interface and the gateway ip address for this subnet from your network administrators.
As an example, lets say the addresses that gave you are as follows (totally hypotetical):

Server LAN1 IP Address: 145.21.177.42
Gateway IP : 145.21.177.254
(on gateway addresses, together with not being a requirements, the last octet of the ip address is usually 254 or 253 or 1, hence I chose 254)

your steps to initiate this new interface is as follows:

ifconfig lan1 inet 145.21.177.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add net 145.21.177.0 145.21.177.254 1

and after running these commands, you need to edit the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and add the new interface and route information by looking at the block of similar examples in this file. If you have any questions doing those, feel free to post your questions.
