Hi, >>Are the clients directly attached to the same network as the >>interfaces A and B or are clients behind a router that >>connects to the network with both A and B?
At this time they are connected to the same network; but in future there may be clients connected through a router also. >>Can I ask what the specific reason for wanting all traffic for >>a specific client to use the same interface is? Normally we >>find people using interfaces like this for redundency purposes >>and so it can be appropriate to use IPMP or link aggregation >>(if supported by the driver) and let Solaris do the load >>spreading across the interfaces as required. Example: There's an Backup Server running on the server with multiple network cards in the same network (for example bge0 and bge1). Some Clients of the server are important and some not. Now we want to make sure, that theres is always enough network bandwidth for the important clients to backup there data. Therefor our goal is to configure bge0 to only serve the important clients; all other clients should only connect via bge1 - even if bge0 is doing nothing. We can configure this on the clients via the IP address of the backup server to use but we also need to make sure that the server uses the right interface to answer the requests of the clients. Can this be done with only one network? Or do we have to configure to different networks to get it working? regards Bernd This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
