I think you are confusing a network interface (such as a tcp port) with a physical network device (such as a LAN card).
For me the study guide is correct. > I succesfully install multiple instances on the same host since many years > (good old 3.23), > my rule of the game is: different os user, different os user homedir, > different my.cnf (with different port/socket) > and start the server ecluding the possibility to read other than its own > my.cnf with --defaults-file=/home/mysql-instance-x/my.cnf > It works greatly and never had one problem (as long as you also start > mysql > client with --defaults-file=/correct/my.cnf) > > Question: Why on Certification Study Guide, Chapter 42, Page 576, First > Bullet it states: > > "Each server must have its own network interface(......) it will not even > start properly if it discovers that its network interfaces are already in > use(...)" > > Even if at the end it changes the version a little bit stating: > > ".....can share the same hostname.
