You could set a metric on the second interface (eth1) prior to upping it so that the primary has priority. This doesn't completely remedy problematic situations though. Example: if eth0 is downed at the switch, but not downed on the host ... so the host will continue to try and use eth0. A situation in which serial remote management or physical vga/ip kvm access is helpful. ;) Add "METRIC=30" to your ifcfg-eth1 file. > > > > so you have a pfSense firewall AND a linksys soho router both connected > to the internet? sounds messy. > > > > -- > john r pierce 37N 122W > somewhere on the middle of the left coast > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 // _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
