Re: Rép. : Re: 2 internet card, 1 IP address

In the information center for IBM i you will find the scenario:


Scenario: Adapter failover using virtual IP and proxy ARP

It has good instructions on how to set it up. Last time I did it I did the entire process in System i Navigator. If I recall correctly some of the process is required to be done there.

Look under:
Networking,
TCP/IP Applications protocols and services,
TCP/IP routing and workload balancing
