This is probably a dumb question, but I don't know the answer...
Is it possible for a single OSA port to be a part of 3 different network
types (trusted, private and public)? In other words, can it be set up to
use IPL addresses in the range of the trusted, private and public? If so,
what would be required on the network side to handle this? And what are the
security repercussions?
Presently we are considering:
OSA1 port 1 primary for general trusted access
OSA1 port 2 primary for IFL trusted access
OSA2 port 1 backup for general engine trusted access
OSA2 port 2 backup for IFL trusted access
OSA3 port 1 primary for public access
OSA3 port 2 primary for private access
OSA4 port 1 backup for public access
OSA4 port 2 backup for private access
This achieves the isolation for each network type and can be easily managed.
But an OSA card is capable of utilizing over 2000 IP addresses...
Please advice.
Thank you.
