RE: IP Address Conflict

The Internal Host Ethernet Adapter on the 8203 does have multiple NIC
addresses for each port. I believe the default is 4 NICs per port, and you
can change that if you wish as well. I use this all the time when I build
multiple partitions on one of our development boxes and can have just one
wire into one port, but that port is shared by different partitions. Now,
it doesn't matter if you have partitions or not, the ports are really small
switches in an 8203 & 8202.

I do know that 10.100.40.11 is the address of my Service Tools Lan Adapter.
NSLOOKUP comes back that it can't be located. Our DNS server likely has no
record of it as it is not really a "system" name.

There was a 10.100.40.11 interface defined for our "normal" Ethernet line -
has been there since the install. Never had a conflict before today. Maybe
a PTF stepped on it. I know that this morning that interface failed and
drove me nuts getting into LAN console. If I tried starting it, it blew me
off completely - so I removed it. That is what has been confusing me - the
old "what was the last thing you changed?". Answer... just PTF's

The 1819 LAN adapter is a quad port and I'm wondering if it has multiple MAC
addresses. I haven't figured out how to tell.

On my i if I do NSLOOKUP '10.10.1.211' it will return me the name of the
machine currently using that IP address. Does that help?
