Folks, I just got a new box with 6 identical NICs in it. I plan to install OpenIndiana on it.
I plan to bond 4 NICs into one aggregated interface. The other two will stay as individuals. Essentially, I will end up with 3 IP addresses. I am familiar with ifconfig. However, this is the first time I am dealing with multiple NIC cards. 1. Is there any concept of primary and non-primary IP addresses? 2. Do all the 3 ip addresses go in /etc/hosts file or just one ip address? 3. Do I specify gateway for all the 3 IP addresses or just one? I am thinking it may confuse the routing algorithm. 4. Is there any need for me to manually manipulate the routing table? I would appreciate any advice you have on what I must watch out for. Thank you in advance for your help.
