Multiple Network Adapters...

markstevens · 06-16-2003, 11:53 AM

I currently have a Dell server running RedHat9. We got the server with the integrated NIC and then got 4 additional adapters (actually a pair of dual ports) I am wondering if it is possible to set all 5 to share the network traffic or will I have to configure them to listen to or use specific ports? Right now The additional 4 are not in use. I guess I am looking for a way to get the most use out of them. Currently we are hosting HTTP, FTP, DNS, Email, and SSH.

Any thoughts or comments?

What do you mean? You want all of them to connect to internet with using all of the NICs?:
And what about IPs - have you got 5 different IPs?
