To have a standby ethernet, so you have failover in case one Nic fails, you have to options, use APA, its HP software for port agregation, you need to pay for a license to use it.

Or if you have SG, you can use a Service guard one node cluster, to have failover on your nics.

HI

For Know all your connected lan cards are configured with IP ..use command

netstat -in

so you will be able to see the configured lan cards with concerned IP address



As early reply mention APA is required for getting a redundancy (considering you are not having SG ) In this case you in the out put of netstat -in you will find some lan device name similar to lan900 ..consider the lan900 is there so you eed to check how the APA is configured ..if it is in redundant mode ..and NICs involved in this APA is connected physically to different switches (for providing a redundancy from switch side ) ... and the ports connected should be in same network (both vlan and subnet should consider) . in the above case your network is configured with Redundancy.
