Hi, I am playing around with my testing stack, and decided to try giving it two connections to the main lan, and turning on equalcostmultipath.
Here are the settings from my TSTIP2 TCPIP file: ASSORTEDPARMS VARSUBNETTING EQUALCOSTMULTIPATH ENDASSORTEDPARMS ; LINK THROUGH QDIO OSA TO LAN DEVICE OSA-B2 OSD B203 PORTNAME OSAQDB2 ; USES B203-B205 LINK LAN10 QDIOETHERNET OSA-B2 ; LINK THROUGH QDIO OSA TO LAN - BACKUP DEVICE OSA-B3 OSD B303 PORTNAME OSAQDB3 ; USES B303-B305 LINK LAN10BKP QDIOETHERNET OSA-B3 HOME 10.0.0.14 LAN10 ; LAN VIA QDIO OSA B203 10.0.0.19 LAN10BKP ; LAN VIA QDIO OSA B303 GATEWAY ; ; NETWORK 1ST-HOP LINK-NAME MAX-PACKET SUBNET-MASK S/N-VAL ; 10 = LAN10 1500 0.255.0.0 0 10 = LAN10BKP 1500 0.255.0.0 0 DEFAULTNET 10.0.0.6 LAN10 1500 0 Here is what I got on the TCPIP console when it started up: DTCQDI001I QDIO device OSA-B2 device number B203: DTCQDI007I Enabled for QDIO data transfers DTCQDI001I QDIO device OSA-B3 device number B303: DTCQDI007I Enabled for QDIO data transfers DTCOSD238I ToOsd: Multicast support enabled for OSA-B2 DTCOSD238I ToOsd: Multicast support enabled for OSA-B3 DTCOSD246I OSD device OSA-B2: Assigned IP address 10.0.0.14 DTCOSD234I ToOsd: TCPIP host is not set as a router for port OSAQDB2 DTCOSD223E OSD device OSA-B2: Return code E00A from SETIP DTCOSD248E Error processing IP address 10.0.0.19 DTCOSD111E IP address already in use by another IP connection DTCOSD246I OSD device OSA-B3: Assigned IP address 10.0.0.19 DTCOSD234I ToOsd: TCPIP host is not set as a router for port OSAQDB3 DTCOSD223E OSD device OSA-B3: Return code E00A from SETIP DTCOSD248E Error processing IP address 10.0.0.14 DTCOSD111E IP address already in use by another IP connection Is this normal, for each OSA to try to steal the other link's IP address? Somehow it doesn't look right to me. Thanks, Shimon -- ********************************************************************** ** Shimon Lebowitz mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] VM System Programmer .
