Order of NetRAIN device specification

[Mark Poeschl_2]

Is the order of the individual devices making up a NetRAIN device in the rc.config file on the NRCONFIG_n line important - i.e. is the first device specified always the active one unless it fails?

Hi,

the documentation does not specify any sequence of use of the integrated nics in a netrain condiguration.

greetings,

Michael

In our experience, the first interface listed is always the active interface (unless it fails):

grep NR rc.config
NRDEV_1="nr1"
export NRDEV_1
NRCONFIG_1="ee0,ee1"
export NRCONFIG_1
NR_DEVICES="2"
export NR_DEVICES

nr1: flags=c63
NetRAIN Attached Interfaces: ( ee1 ee0 ) Active Interface: ( ee0 )
inet 10.129.4.155 netmask fffffc00 broadcast 10.129.7.255 ipmtu 1500
