Re: TCPIP couple with vswitch

[Jim Bohnsack]

Since I'm working remotely now (Cornell is in the frozen north and I'm working from balmy Plano, TX), I put a 2nd stack on both of our systems so that I could bounce the primary stack and still have connectivity thru the other one.  Jim Alan Altmark wrote: On Tuesday, 04/14/2009 at 12:41 EDT, Hans Rempel <h...@hmrconsultants.com> wrote: As Dave mentioned it's always good to have a second TCPIP stack for testing and emergency access. The only thing I wanted to add was that all ports can have multiple devices defined - up to 256 I think. For example you define a vswitch on one port using device address 0,1,2 you can define a second vswitch using device addresses 3,4,5. A lot of flexibility here. If you are using the port for load balancing you cannot share the port with other VSWITCHS so the extra devices do not help. Consider also OSA-ICC as your other way in.
