The other network is totally separate from the primary network and there are firewalls that prevent us from accessing it directly. So we have the second nic plugged directly into the router so we can just maintain that the switches are up and working properly. (long story made short)

Let the router do its job, and route to the other network. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/17/02 12:30PM >>> Keith For example: I have a class b address (999.999.0.0) and a class c address (888.888.888.0). There is a router in place to route between the networks. I monitor switches on both networks and sometime the wug uses the nic for the class c address to monitor switches on the class b network. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:WhatsUp_Forum-owner@;list.ipswitch.com] On Behalf Of Keith Harrison Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 10:21 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] using dual nics Kevin: Can you give us some more details? Why aren't you using a router between the to networks? When you say that "sometimes the devices use the wrong nic", what does that mean exactly. If you can give us some examples or IP addresses that would help out quite a bit.
