Sorry.  I guess I didn't fully understand vipa.  You could use interface
bonding to bond 2 interfaces into 1 to get redundancy.

Thank you for your answer.

The documentation said   Vipa allows you to assign IP addresses  to a
system, instead of  individual adapters. This minimizes outage caused by
adapter failure.

Best regards

They are called Virtual Interfaces.

You configure it like any other interface except you reference it to the
base nic by placing a : x.

So to configure a Virtual interface on  eth0 you could
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

Hello, somebody knows the equivalent to VIPA in Intel platformh and GPL
?

Thank you.

The term VIPA varies in meaning according to the speaker and comes in
multiple flavors:
1. Same subnet or different subnet
2. Dynamic or static

Same subnet, static: When an interface fails, its IP address is assigned
to one of the remaining intefaces.  aka IP takeover.  It is an alias
that is established only when an interface dies.

Different subnet, static:  An IP address is assigned to the host that is
independent of the IP addresses assigned to the network interfaces.  It is
standard run-of-the-mill routing magic that makes it work.

Different subnet, dynamic: As above, but the VIPA address(es) can move to
another host in a cluster based on high availability or workload balancing
neads.  This is pretty much a z/OS thing.

Linux also has an add_vipa command whose only job is to register an IP
address (logic dictates it is a VIPA) in the OSA card.

Channel bonding is something that occurs below the IP layer.  VIPA is an
IP thing.
