Both eth0 and eth1 with the same ip?
 
Hello!
Just for fun I set to eth0 and eth1 the same IP. Wondering that it works! How is it possible? As i know, it is prohibited to use some IP twise in IPv4 subnet.

My output:
Code:

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="static"
GATEWAY="192.168.207.1"
IPADDR="192.168.207.250"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
ONBOOT="yes"

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE="eth1"
BOOTPROTO="static"
GATEWAY="192.168.207.1"

Ah, amazing!!! Don't know how?
Are these both interface connected simultaneously?
Code:

mii-tool
And also can you check whether there is no packet loss from both interface?
Code:

ping -I eth0 google.com

ping -I eth1 google.com

It is possible to do what you did. The underlying rules would eventually select which one the system would use. I forget them all but in all tcp/ip there are many not normally known rules for these issues.
