[fizik72]

hi
we use F80 i tried to use two of ethernet cards en0 and en1
we can use only en0 the system can not ping en1 we used a different ip for en1 how can we use two ethernets together?

All of our servers are using two or three Ethernet adapters and in cases where I have setup HACMP, it was required. You may want to check and make sure you are not using the same subnet address.... example:
xxx.xxx.1.xxx for en0 and xxx.xxx.1.xxx for en1
This has given me problems in the past.
You can have different subnet addresses on the same router.

I have always using smitty to setup my adapters without any problems (smitty - communications - tcp/ip - min config)... Also make sure you go into smitty - devices - communication and set your Ethernet to Auto Neg. Have the ports on the router set the same.... You can have performance problems if they are not equal....

Good Luck...

What you need is a static routing definition.
