Hi List, Been looking on forums.gentoo.org looking for a way to pair two NIC's so that should the primary fail, the secondary takes over...
The situation is this: 8 HP DL380G4's all running Gentoo moving into a data centre rack, the firewall is currently a Netscreen(Juniper) 25 and another will be added to give us Active/Passive failover on the firewalls. Redundant switches will be added behind the firewalls to ensure that is not a single point of failure, all the DL380 have two NIC's in them and currently only one is active. All boxes covered with HP on a 24x7x4 Carepaq, redundant power supplies to be added - DC is a N+1 so fine there... Biggest issue I am facing and becoming lost on is teaming the NIC's so I can connect NIC1 to Switch 1 and NIC2 to switch 2 etc... Can anyone help ? Ta Mal -- [email protected] mailing list
