Hi,

I want to use simple configuration.

I want to bind IP1 with eth0 (MAC1) and IP2 with eth1 (MAC2),

I am RH Linux 4.0, with kernal 2.6

The issue in such a configuration is that, only one interface remains active at a time. AS Linux is assigning same MAC address to both IP addresses, i have verified it using arping.

Here eth0 and eth1 are connecting to different switches, IP1 and IP2 are in the same subnet.

I want ping results in such a way

using eth0 interface

ping IP1 should work
ping IP2 should not work

using eth1 interface
ping IP1 should not work
ping IP2 should work

and I should get correct MAC address for arping.

I have tried many things, but nothing works.

Please help me in this, if it is a known issue.

Thanks in advance,
Sandeep
