Dual NIC or EtherChannel

[Morsing]

Hi,
I've tried finding information on using two NICs to connect to seperate switches but I can only find descriptions on EtherChannel which needs support on the switch.

Does anyone know what kind of redundant link support AIX has or where I can find more information?

Cheers

Hi,

I would check out chapter 8.3 in :

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG245765.html

This deals with multipath on AIX 5 (I hope I got the question right ...)

As I understand this I need 5.2 to do this?

As far as I remember it's all flavours of AIX5.

Yeah, you're right. I thought it just described new things in 5.2.

Cheers for that!

AIX newbie here,
I have an IBM-AIX 5 with dual NICs and wanted to configure them to service 2 different subnets? Is this possible?
How do I set the smit tcpip to show different gateways on the other NIC if needed?
Any clues are appreciated?
thanks!
