My customer is an Internet Service Providor (ISP) and wants to be able
to load share connections from the internet across 2 network
interfaces. Redundancy is catered for by using ASE but not at the
network level, if an interface card fails, rather than failing over the
cluster, they want to continue normally.
I do not see LSF suiting these requirements, so I would like to be able
to configure 2 network interfaces into 1 logical interface. Apparently
SGI have this facility, do we ?

There is no way to logically group two interfaces into one
virtual interface today. This is part of a list of features
for a future release which are currently under development...

John,
Can you have a look in note ASE 1970.0
If I did a mistake, can you mail me your comments.
Thanks, Manu.

Your solution relies on moving aliases between two interfaces,
which is not what .0 is asking (they want network level
redundancy, the way I am reading it).
Put another way, your solution works for IP, but not for LAT,
DECnet, and other protocols, which a network level redundancy
would solve.

| 9318.5 | It's not what I wanted, however... | SIOG::J_LONG | Mon Apr 07 1997 19:01 | 8 | |
This is true, but it would appear to be the best we can provide, I
would prefer if we could assign the same IP address to two network
interface cards on the same system.
