Hi all

I was trying to just bring up a basic tipc network.  I had a doubt
about the following text from the programmer's guide
"A TIPC network is also assigned a network identifier. This allows
multiple logical networks to use the same physical medium (for
example, the same Ethernet LAN cables) without interfering with one
another, since each node in the only recognizes traffic originating
from nodes having the same network identifier it has been assigned to
use."
Based on my understanding of the above we should be able to configure
multiple netid's on the same eth port. This effictively would allow
one to have 2 TIPC networks via the same port.

However if i try to do that i get the following error
[root@ucc1 tipc-config]# ./tipc-config  -netid
current network id: 4711
[root@ucc1 tipc-config]# ./tipc-config  -netid=1231

operation not supported (cannot change network id once TIPC has joined
a network)

I tried multiple options of trying it out.

In my setup , i enabled tipc in make menuconfig options and then
compiled the kernel(3.15.2).
This is running on CentOS6.5. I have downloaded latest avaiable
tipc-utils from the tipc homepage.


Any pointers would be helpful.


Thanks in advance

Regards
Arjun
