Many thanks to all of you who replied. Again, the list saved me a lot of
time and frustration...
My original post:
>>Hi,
>>I will soon upgrade my alpha server 2100 with 100Mb/s fast ethernet cards.
The >>servers actually use built-in multi-io cards with 10m/s.
>>I have several questions concerning the upgrade:
>>1) Do I have to disable the actual ethernet cards ? If so, how do I do this ?
>>2) Do I have to rebuild the kernel ? Or would netsetup suffice ?
>>3) Can I use both cards in the same machine ? Will I have 2 IP address for
the
same host ?
The answers:
1) NO
2) No if you use Digital UNIX 3.2C or later. Rebuilding it would make it
recognize the new hardware tough (In my case, tu1). Netsetup is the easiest
way to set up the IP adresses of the cards.
3) YES for both questions. Both cards must be on different subnets tough.
Thanks again !
