hi there, i?m using a sun sparc station 5 with two network interfaces. on eth0 there should be access for win-clients, on eth1 access for macs. how can i manage this? should i run tho smbds an bind ip-addresses to a nic? thanks for helping me, seb
Hi, samba-users, I want to make use of 2 NICs in one Samba-server. Can anyone point me to some documentation? I want to increase availability and speed, but don?t yet understand how to set it up right. What about the 2 IP-adresses? Will they both be accessed via the \\SERVER\-name? Is there any magic load-balancing? Do I have to bond the NICs? Does that work with standard switch? Thank you for your replies ... Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:monitor@oops.co.at
Hi , you bind to both nics interfaces = lo, eth0, eth1 this will work dont forget to modify things like hostsallow = 127., 10.10.10. (if nothing is configured i think bind to all interfaces is defaultregards ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan G.

So I could just leave the interfaces-option away, I think. Right now I have: interfaces = 192.168.16.200 hosts allow = 192.168.16. 127.0.0.1 I will change it to: interfaces = eth0 eth1 lo hosts allow = 192.168.16. 127. # No "," in O?Reilly-book, I will check that in the docs ... Ok? Thank you, Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:monitor@oops.co.at

With Linux kernel you would use the bonding network driver. It does work with switches that support "port trunking" (at least 3com calls it that way), the switch has to be manageable.
