While answering this question I found something I didn't know and couldn't find an answer for.
In the context of the above question if a computer / server has 2 LAN ports built in on the motherboard (Or 2 seperate Network Cards) should these 2 cards have the same IP address e.g 10.0.0.1 or should they both have different addresses e.g
Port 1 10.0.0.1
Port 2 10.0.0.2
Hypothesising that the user wants just to connect 2 other computers to the servers 2 LAN ports using crossover cable.
I would think they had to have different 2 seperate IP addresses but was wondering what that would mean if using DNS. Would the server have 2 seperate records in DNS. Could it be contacted by either? Which would take precedence?
Any answers on this topic or further information would be greatly appreciated.
What are the implications of using IP-level LACP? I would like ethernet connection to have a given IP but if I ethernet is not working I want the Wireless card to take the same IP, can I configure LACP and just leave one of them working at the time without any troubles? and is it worth it? – White_King – 2019-09-18T11:52:05.873
