- I have a 750 with an extra EISA lan card. It was my understanding from
- the local sales reps and CEs that it would be possible to connect diskless
- clients up to both LAN cards. The documentation seems to hint that this is
- possible to do on a server(although it does not seemed to be recommended).
- However the documentation does not provide any insight on how to setup the
- system for this to work properly.
-
- I did discover to configure rbootd to use both LAN cards. This seems to
- work, the client connects to the EISA LAN card and starts booting. However
- early in the boot process the client stops and keeps repeating the error
- "server does not respond". The EISA LAN card has a different IP address than
- the primary LAN card. How does the diskless client connected to the EISA
- LAN card know to use the address of the EISA LAN card and not the address
- of the primary LAN card?
-
- I suspect some of the problem has to due with being able to properly configure
- routing on the server. I know this is a sort of complex problem, if someone
- could maybe just point be to a source of documentation I would be most grateful.
