Hi,
Sorry If I am repeating the question again.
I have a intel box running Redhat 6.1(2.2.12-20) with 2 ethernet cards
connected to same subnet, say 10.1.16.0/20. Now I was testing the system for
network fault-tolerance. And I found something strange,
which is as follows:
If I pull out the ethernet cable of "eth0" "eth1" stops working,
Whereas the second interface i.e. eth1 do replies to the ARP queries
for both interfaces with its MAC address, but nothing more one can
do with the second interface.
Whereas if I keep the cable plugged in for eth0 and pull out the cable
of eth1, system remains available and starts accepting the packet for
the other interface also ( packets for other interface).
My question is should'nt both interfaces behave in similar way.
If you do not know the answer, please tell me some pointers.
Regards
Dhallan
