[9fans] two nics 8139

[Adriano Verardo]

Hi, all.
I have 2 nics rtl8139, both successfully probed as l0 and l1 but
in /net I see only the interface ether0 to l0 and /net.alt is empty.

Where can I find a doc about how to configure 2 tcp stacks and/or
to use 2 nics through the same stack ?

Thanks in advance

adriano

the usual suspects (bind, ipconfig, cs, dns)

# second ethernet card
bind -b '#l1' /net.alt
bind -b '#I1' /net.alt
ip/ipconfig -x /net.alt ether /net.alt/ether1
ndb/cs -x /net.alt -f /lib/ndb/external
ndb/dns -sx /net.alt -f /lib/ndb/external

You can also add it as another ether on the same IP stack: bind -b '#l1'
/net
and then use ipconfig to configure it there.

I will re-read all that docs.
Thanks a lot for the hints, Skip

ok, thanks.
If the goal is to manage two separate networks, one local and the other
for remote/restricted
access only, its better to have 2 stacks or 2 nics under the same stack ?

i don't know about "better", but it's certainly easier to think about
two seperate stacks.  one can be certain (absent bridging) that the
stacks don't interact, and the services won't leak between them.

i've always used two stacks to keep them separate.

So what do you do when you have N ethernet ports and you want
to forward packets between these ports either @ layer2
(bridge) or @ layer3 (route)?

if you want to do layer 3, just put them in the same ip stack.
if you want to do layer 2, use bridge(3).

You don't separate them but put them in the same name space and use
bridge(3) or routing as appropriate.
