Isaac is correct, that you will only have one NID, and it will be the only one pingable, however you should be able to use both interfaces with your configuration. First of all, can you ping the IP addr (not using LNET pings, just ordinary tcp/ip ping)?
As you state, your server has two NICS on two different switches. Where is the client connected? Does it have two NICS, and are they on the same switches? Same subnets? A bit more information about how your network is laid out would be useful. -Marc ---- D.
