2 NIC's with different IP's

[Guest MSExchangeStudent]

Hi all

 

I got a Win 2003 server where i installed Portal on. There is a couple of

other apps also runing on. I was working the whole time with a 100Mb network

card in there which has a IP 192.168.150.157. 2 days agso i discovered there

is another NIC in the server and that one is a 1Gb NIC but his ip is

192.168.150.176. Am i right if i say the server and all its network traffic

use the 1'st NIC which is the smaller/slower one????and if so how can i tell

the traffic to use the faster NIC also. Is there a way that i can assign 2

NIC the same IP adress?

 

Pls help me? I want to use the faster NIC also but i don't neccesarily want

to change the IP of the PC because quite a lot of stuff point to the

192.168.150.157 IP which is the 100Mb NIC.

 

Hope this is clear and someone can help me.

Sorry

 

just discovered i can just type \\192.168.150.176\x.x and i will be using

the faster NIC and connect to the same box. So i can just change some of the

paths that connect to this machine from \\192.168.150.157\x.x to

\\192.168.150.176\x.x to use the faster NIC

 

PS: I read on the net that it is NOT possible to give 1 IP to different

NIC's

You can set the DNS so the computer is pointed to the gigabit interface as

standard. You can combine network cards, it's called adaptor teaming, and it

basically increases thoughput.

Actually, You can with teaming software- we have 4 nics with 1 IP on our HP

nas server

Re: 2 NIC's with different IP's

 

Hello,

 

Most servers on the market in the last few years have a feature called NIC

Teaming where you can bind the two NICs together to have a single IP address

and to provide additional bandwidth and fault tolerance. Setting this up

usually isn't difficult and is configured through the NIC driver. To have a

single IP address on the team the driver creates a virtual NIC that acts like

a switch to use ARP to route traffic on layer 2. (Note that it does some

interesting things between the switch to make the ARP thing work, but that is

a topic for another posting.)

 

If you're just going to use DNS to route traffic to the faster NIC, you'll

want to ensure that the traffic on the way back to you goes over the correct

NIC so you'll want to change the binding order on the NIC to give the faster

one preference. I would be interested to know why they are different speeds

as they are usually identical -- this would imply different port speeds on

the switch.

 

If it just comes down to using the faster one, move the IP there and disable

the other one.

Sounds even better, is it software that i download or do i do it in the

config of the NIC's

I don't know why they are different speeds, i got the server like this as

another clients were using it before.

Don't neccesarily wanna disable one as i want to use the extra

speed/resources that i have available.
