1 Hi List,
2 Been looking on forums.gentoo.org looking for a way to pair two NIC's so
3 that should the primary fail, the secondary takes over...
4
5 The situation is this:
6
7 8 HP DL380G4's all running Gentoo moving into a data centre rack, the
8 firewall is currently a Netscreen(Juniper) 25 and another will be added
9 to give us Active/Passive failover on the firewalls.
10
11 Redundant switches will be added behind the firewalls to ensure that is
12 not a single point of failure, all the DL380 have two NIC's in them and
13 currently only one is active.
14
15 All boxes covered with HP on a 24x7x4 Carepaq, redundant power supplies
16 to be added - DC is a N+1 so fine there...
17
18 Biggest issue I am facing and becoming lost on is teaming the NIC's so I
19 can connect NIC1 to Switch 1 and NIC2 to switch 2 etc...
20
21 Can anyone help ?
