Re: Multiple ethernet cards in 1 machine

[John Earl <johnearl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had multiple Token Ring Cards in a single box, so I would assume that you
could do multiple ethernet cards as well.  If you're just looking for a hot 
spare,
you could put the second card in and not attach a Line Description to it.  Then 
if
the first card fails you can re-assign the hardware resource from the second 
line
to the first.... in a matter of just a few minutes.
