Greetings, There seems to be an issue with multiple NICS on SLES 9 SP3 Here is the xml we have at the moment between the networking tag. <networking> <dns> <dhcp_hostname config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_hostname> <dhcp_resolv config:type="boolean">false</dhcp_resolv> <domain>my.domain</domain> <hostname>myhostname</hostname> <nameservers config:type="list"> <nameserver>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</nameserver> <nameserver>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</nameserver> <nameserver>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</nameserver> </nameservers> </dns> <interfaces config:type="list"> <interface> <bootproto>static</bootproto> <device>eth0</device> <ipaddr>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</ipaddr> <netmask>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</netmask> <startmode>onboot</startmode> </interface> <interface> <bootproto>static</bootproto> <device>eth1</device> <ipaddr>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</ipaddr> <netmask>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</netmask> <startmode>onboot</startmode> </interface> <interface> <bootproto>static</bootproto> <device>eth2</device> <startmode>off</startmode> </interface> <interface> <bootproto>static</bootproto> <device>eth3</device> <startmode>off</startmode> </interface> <interface> <bootproto>static</bootproto> <device>eth4</device> <ipaddr>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</ipaddr> <netmask>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</netmask> <startmode>onboot</startmode> </interface> </interfaces> <modules config:type="list"> <module_entry> <device>eth0</device> <module>tg3</module> </module_entry> <module_entry> <device>eth1</device> <module>tg3</module> </module_entry> <module_entry> <device>eth2</device> <module>e1000</module> </module_entry> <module_entry> <device>eth3</device> <module>e1000</module> </module_entry> <module_entry> <device>eth4</device> <module>e1000</module> </module_entry> </modules> <routing> <ip_forward config:type="boolean">false</ip_forward> </routing> </networking> When i use this configuration i get two of the Network interfaces configured in /etc/sysconfig/network and only one gets turned on. The NIC that gets turned on is the first one in the interfaces tag list, and the two that get configured in /etc/sysconfig/network is the first one listed in the interfaces tag list and one that is listed with the startmode as "off", all the rest of them do not even get configured at all. Why is this happening? Is there something that i need to be doing different here? Thanks, Cameron Seader
