RE: Any benefits to multiple NICs in Ex5.5?
I'd be surprised if setting up a VLAN for your inter exchange traffic would reduce the user LAN loading by anything much more than a trickle. Of course, LAN cards and switch ports are cheap but add a level of complexity to your environment that your LAN and NT support people might not want to cope with. Get some stats off the LAN guys before you decide to VLAN off. If your LAN guys were worth their salt and were worried about the traffic from point to point they'd probably have brought it up already. -Original Message- From: Pillai, Raj [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 September 2002 23:50 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Any benefits to multiple NICs in Ex5.5?

Scenario: NT 4.0 SP6a SRP Exchange 5.5 SP4 10/100 NIC ATM NIC I've got two NICs in every exchange server and would like to put them to good use. I initially thought I would try to route all replication traffic through the Ethernet nic that's connected to all the other exchange servers via a switch. Then allow all other traffic to flow through the ATM NIC. However, I've found no documentation on how to make this happen. So having said all that, my question again; would there be any benefits to using both NICs? Thanks.

There would be benefit only if you're saturating one of the networks. You might be able to achieve what you want to do through the use of static routes. Edgar J.
