MULTI ETHERNET CARD PROBLEM

Alexandre Ghisolfi · 05-29-2001, 03:01 PM

I´ve a server with 2 nics, my problem is that eth1 is receiving all information from the network
(even the information to the IP Alias of my eth0)
I can ping eth0 (from my server but not from the host)
and it´s looks ok!
Where can be my problem??
Thanks!

Since you're using two NICs I expect that you want to route data between them? What you describe is how things look without routing..
Make sure the Route daemon is installed and running. And then go to where you configure your netcards. You should enable routing there (packet forwarding it's called if I remember correct)
Was that it?

From your description it sounds like eth0 and eth1 are on the same subnet & cable, otherwise one interface wouldn't get all the traffic... Is this the case? If if so how come - I'm curious...

The fact is that this NICs are in different VLANs
I have 2 switches with 2 vlans setuped
(Each card is connected in one vlan)
Then these NICs are completly isolated one each
other...
I´ll trying to remenber what else can be....

So the hosts on one network can see hosts on the other??

No, they don´t
my problem at this time is that I cannot ping
the Ethernet card eth0 from the Hosts.......

But isn't it then the routing as I was talking about in my first post?
