Same thing as secondary ip address on a router. Let's say you have 2 ip subnets within the same LAN. All you are doing is creating an IP presence on an IP subnet. You could also be migrating to a new IP scheme, you may want the same server to host multiple applications and you may want to filter certain traffic by destination IP address on the upstream firewall. The possibilities are really endless.

Whether you can assign multiple ip addresses from the same subnet orfrom the different Subnets. My question is what is the advantage of assigning (2) IP addresses to the same NIC card. If we do that with (2)NIC cards, then it is understandable that you are making your Server Multihomed/Router, but what is the advantage of assigning (2) ip addresses to the same card besides in Web Servers to run multiple websites through Server. I know somebody is doing that to connect (2) subnets to Cisco routers. The guy has assignedan ip address 192.168.10.10/24 to a W2K's NIC Card, and in the same NIC card he has assigned a logical IPaddress 192.168.40.5/24. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
