Dear Managers,
I have an ES40 machine with a Fiber network card (alt0) and a DE504 NIC
(ee0)
I am using the Fiber NIC and not the DE one, so I have disabled the ee0
NIC.
Now, when I issue the command # netstat -in, I notice that some pkts
go through the ee0 interface, they fail off course because it is
disabled, but my question is WHY do pakets go there while it is not
configured?
The out put of the netstat -in and netstat -is as follows:
# netstat -in
