Hi Everyone,
I have a server with two NICs. One NIC is already configured for network A, but the second is disabled at the moment. I want to enable it too, but put it on network B. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that. Well, what I've tried hasn't worked anyway.
Each NIC is plugged into a separate switch, and each network has it's own gateway. But, I can only set one default gateway. What parameters do I need to use in the NIC config file to force NIC 1 to use gateway 1, and NIC 2 to use gateway 2? I tried using "GATEWAY=blah" in each config file (ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1), but it didn't work.
I'm over looking something.
There can only be 1 path to a destination at 1 time.
This being said you can use dynamic routing to distribute the load across 2 paths with 'gated' by putting 2 default routes with equal weight in the gated.conf and then gated will be responsible for adding and removing the default route from the system's routing table on a per-packet or per-connection basis.
You will need to select a routing protocol and have a peer that can reciprocate this routing information.
