Hi,
First of all, sorry for replying so late. I was keeping track of replies but donno how I overlooked your reply.
Initially I was using RedHat 8.0, and when I configured them in bonding, active-backup mode, I used to get duplicate responses to pings when both the cables were intact.
Now I am working on X-Linux.I need to have the two ethernet NIC's configured on the same subnet, and routing based on the source address of the packet.Is there any way of achieving this? Currently it routes all packets from one NIC UNLESS you ifconfig it down, in which case it switches to the second NIC.Also I have not tried bonding in embedded linux yet(I dont know if it gives duplicate packets here also), so I have to try it out.
Basically I need to have both
1. Independent operation of NICs
2. Bonded operation of NICs
Thanks a lot for your reply,
Rani
