Socket on second NIC

Hi there!
I want to connect a telnet port trough the second NIC(eth1).
Let me know how to specify the second NIC on Soacket.

I did the following things:
- Sorted the NICs like it is described here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/FD9E1AF5AB1343098625736F0076DE6B?OpenDocument
- The first NIC became the 192.168.0.2 and the second became 192.168.1.2
- I changed the connection: Ranger to the second NIC and GigE-camera to the first NIC
- I deactivated the ping signal as described above.
And now it looks like it is working.
Best Regards
Martin

How can I eliminate delays in one NIC when there is traffic on second NIC

Using LabVIEW TCP/IP VIs, my LV application is accessing a database though a LAN, and through a second NIC, it is controlling an instrument. The instrument is connected directly to the computer NIC with a cross-over cable. I have made a permanent route for the IP address of the instrument in the IP route table. The LAN and the instrument have different subnet numbers. Using a packet sniffer, I don't see any traffic meant for the LAN going to the NIC connected to the instrument. The OS of the computer is Windows XP and the NICs are PCI cards.
The message traffic to the instrument suffers from intermittent delays when there is traffic going to the LAN.
How can I eliminate the delays? What could be the cause of the delays? Thanks in advance for your recommendations and suggestions.

Hi LabBard,
Could you tell us a little more about the device that you are connected to? What you could try is to have a VI accessing the LAN, and a separate VI communicating with the instrument, and see how things play out.
Let us know how it goes!

How to configure oracle dataguard for connecting to the second nic.

hi
i want deploy my oracle dataguard on a remote site on a separate lease line
and on the second nic of the primary. i just have a concern that what
configurations should be made in the primary or standby to make sure the replication can work as the first nic is connected to receive the general database
data and the second nic is being planned for replication only.
so how standby will come to know that it has to pick which one of then.
waiting for an early reply
manish lall

thanks for the reply
does that mean nothing is to be needed to configure for oracle standby as such.
can you give me some idea of how this ip routing configuration will be done

Second NIC Card Problem

Hi,
Need a little help. I have installed a second NIC card in a MPC 545 computer running Solaris 8 and created or updated all the necessary files (ie., hosts, hostname.prb1, netmask, etc.)
During the boot process (which looks similar to this) I am getting the following error:
Configuring IPv4 interfaces: iprb0; ipbr1
Ifconfig: plumb: iprb1:
bad file number
moving address from failed IPv4 interfaces: iprb1
(couldn't move, no alternative interfaces)
This error never shows up on every system. Its intermittent. I have approx 1800 systems to put NIC cards in and I never know when this error will surface. Any ideas on how to solve/fix this error?
Thanks
Ty

Using second NIC on different subnet

If subnet B is on a different LAN, then use the second NIC. If it's on the same LAN, you can also add a secondary IP address to the existing NIC.
If you don't want the server to be multi-homed, you should consider unchecking the option to have it update its DNS settings automatically and using a static IP on subnet A.

This is probably a basic question but just not something I have had to deal with. I have a server that is on Subnet A. I have a secondary network (Subnet B) that I use for video surveillance. There is a client/server application that I would like to install on this server. Is there any reason not to set up the second NIC in the server on Subnet B?

Stupid network question - adding second nic for inside network

Solaris 10 06/06
Server: V210
Has 4 nic's
Currently have the system setup with 1 nic setup and running to normal outside IP on a business network. Works find, no issues.
I want to use a second nic to allow connection to an internal 192.168.... network so that I can access it from a workstation inside.
IP would be 192.168.1.17 gateway 192.168.1.1
So...
ifconfig bge1 plumb up
ifconfig 192.168.1.17 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig -a shows...
bge1: flags=1000803<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 4
        inet 192.168.1.17 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        ether 0:3:ba:5a:5c:52 netstat -rn shows....
Routing Table: IPv4
Destination           Gateway           Flags Ref   Use   Interface

default              XXX.XXX.176.161      UG        1 334165
127.0.0.1            127.0.0.1            UH        5    142 lo0Note: the xxx.xxx... interface is the working main interface to the outside world.
I can ping the 192.168.1.17 which is the nic in the server, but can't ping say the gateway 192.168.1.1
Seems like I need a default route for it, but I already have a default for the normal network.
Clue as to what I am overlooking.
Note: this is in the global zone. I plan on letting a zone access this as well.

Odd, i would expect the ifconfig -a output from the bge1 interface to contain "RUNNING", such as.
bge0: flags=1100843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
Are you certain the card got link? And that the router is pingable?

Second NIC on Call Manager 7.01

Hello,
Is there any possibility to use the second nic o CUCM 7.01 in a different network?
Is it just unsupported or really impossible to configure?
thanks,
met.

I am not sure if it's good practice for servers though..
If you would have 2 nic's with seperate subnets, you can easily introduce faults by i.e. configuring incorrect routes etc.
We use iLo however, which is on a seperate subnet, and with advanced license you can even connect to the CLI interface. (only when things turned to custard ;-) )

Make a router out of a simple notebook with one NIC (buy a second NIC)

Hello all,
Before starting, I think I must say hello to you because I'm new here : this is my first post . So, in fact, I'm working with Linux since 5 years. I'm running Gentoo on my workstation and my old server, Ubuntu on my notebook and for family, and finaly, I'm running Red Hat at work place for workstation and servers. I'm a Linux and JBoss administrator .
I've decided to run/try Arch because it seams to growth with rock-solid ideas and it's a binary distribution. I now prefer a binary distribution for my server, because it's taking too much time to let old computer or notebook compile the whole world (alone or not ...). I prefer now looking around and learn another Linux distribution. This is why I started to install my first Arch Linux : I will try to run a server on a simple notebook. In fact, it's a working machine, but without any graphics capabilities (memory has burned...), and so, perfect for a little server low consumption. I want it to replace my current server/router running Gentoo on an old Pentium 3.
For now, I've encountered these little problem :
- LID problem when screen is close : reboot never work (power off just after the BIOS, when the LID state is "screen closed"...) => disable LID connection (unplugged from motherboard)
- ssh problem => must now use "/etc/hosts.allow" to let remote machine to be connected
- try routing packet with one NIC => for now, doesn't work ...
- try to get X11 Forwarding => doesn't work too, but it will works quickly
My infrastructure is just a server/router splitting in two part for the LAN at home :
- one part is LAN with all workstations
- the other part is LAN_router which is another network with only the ADSL router to access internet
So, its looking like this : <machine1> => <switch> => <[eth1]server/router[eth0]> => <switch> => <router_ADSL> => INTERNET
All is fine ... with the old machine ... for the new one, it has only one network interface ... The question is : how to do routing with only one NIC ???
In theory, I "should" work ... but .. some component can have some little hard time to do the right things .. and for me, is not working right now.
The first try is to use one interface with one IP aliasing, like this :
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1d:e4:a3:d5:1a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.2.1.8/26 brd 10.2.1.63 scope global eth0
inet 10.2.1.66/26 brd 10.2.1.127 scope global eth0:0
inet6 fc80::21a:e2ff:fea3:d56a/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Two sub network are used :
- 10.2.1.0/26
- 10.2.1.64/26
I must have 2 ip on one NIC, so aliasing can be used (when testing, the new server/router is able to ping a workstation and the ADSL router ; it can also use internet). I've heart there is some problem with "iptables" to set forwarding rules when using IP Aliasing ... but I prefer try myself . It doesn't work for now, probably because of this. But, is there a way to use a "workaround" ? For example, if "iptables" is not able to play with aliasing, and so, interface such as "eth0:0", may be there is a way to tell it, like this :
[root@serveurn ~]# iptables-save
# Generated by iptables-save v1.4.10 on Sun Dec 12 17:30:01 2010

COMMIT
# Completed on Sun Dec 12 17:30:01 2010
... use the interface "eth0" (for the whole throughput) and do SNAT for all excepted for the LAN network ? But it seams to not work ...
I got a second idea : if it wan't work with aliasing ... may be can I use virtual interface and bridge ... create a bridge with "eth0" and "tap0" so I can add more than one ip in the machine .. and may be, will be able to route packet from these two interface ???
But for now, I have to understand why X11 Forwarding don't work ...
EDIT: xorg problem solved : xorg-auth was requested ...

@loopx: Honestly: return the USB NIC you just got, buy a compatible device(maybe an asus rt-n16) and install dd-wrt. You'll be a lot happier....

Daniel.

Try that method instead getByName and see if you have better luck, keep in mind what the method documentation says about ipv6 addresses.
getByAddress
public static InetAddress getByAddress(byte[] addr)
                                throws UnknownHostException
Returns an InetAddress object given the raw IP address . The argument is in network byte order: the highest order byte of the address is in getAddress()[0].
This method doesn't block, i.e. no reverse name service lookup is performed.
IPv4 address byte array must be 4 bytes long and IPv6 byte array must be 16 bytes long
Parameters:
addr - the raw IP address in network byte order
Returns:
an InetAddress object created from the raw IP address.
Throws:
UnknownHostException - if IP address is of illegal length

if I were you I would put the lines

before connecting to the server, not after the initial message was sent.

Hang when add second nic on solaris7

I have installed solaris7 on my pc, I configured the /kernel/drv/nei.conf file for my NE2000 ethernet card, my first ethernet card work fine. then I start to install the second ne2000 ethernet card on my pc, turn on the pc, the system is hang. please help....

I've had a similar problem on Sparc/Solaris 7. I traced it to the fact that Solaris uses the same MAC address for all network interfaces, unless you tell it different. Find the "ifconfig" command that configures your interfaces (in /etc/init.d/rootusr) and when it's doing the 2nd interface (it does that in a "while" loop, so you'll have to test explicitly each time around the loop). A diff on my system gives:

Of course, read the appropriate man pages (ifconfig, the See Also references in the ifconfig man page). And I must state that YMMV.

Can't get second NIC to come up on reboot

On my Solaris 10 x4500 server e1000g0 is for the public network and e1000g1 is for the private network. The public e1000g0 NIC gets configured properly at boot and is usable right away, but the private NIC does not get fully configured at boot and requires an "ifconfig e1000g1 up" to become operational. An "ifconfig e1000g1" before this command shows that the IP address is correctly configured based on the /etc/hostname.e1000g1 and /etc/hosts files. What more do I need to do? Or at least, does this appear to be the correct normal procedure for setting up a new interface in Solaris 10, and therefore the problem is something non-obvious? Here is some relevant diagnostic output.
*/etc/hosts*
# Internet host table

Yes.
Beginning with Solaris 8, the network config files took some slight changes in how they were interpreted. Things like IPMP needed a bit more control over the startup.
Now, if the file contains only a single line, the traditional behavior occurs with the interface being turned "up", and netmask/broadcast set. If multiple lines are detected, each line is passed to ifconfig, but it is not implicitly set "up" as well.
Unfortunately, there's no smarts in there to determine if there's only one "populated" line. It's just counting newlines.

How to add a second nic card to non global zone

hi every one
i have a issue like
my non global zone has hme0 as the nic card
i want to add a secondary nic card like pcn0 to the non global zone . how can i add to the nonglobal zone so that both the nic cards should exist in the nonglobal zone
please tell me the command and procedure for that
thanks in advance ....

If your non-global zone is a shared IP zone, then you can add like
zonecfg -z <zonename>
add net
set physical=pnc0
set address=<IP Address>
end
verify
commit
exit
If your non-global zone is an exclusive IP zone, then remember that the interface pnc0 you are adding will be in control of non-global zone exclusively.
Steps to add it are same as above.
