Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network
|
||||||
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have
|
||||||
|
one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain
|
||||||
|
(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces
|
||||||
|
will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.
|
||||||
|
This results in unbalanced receive traffic.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP
|
||||||
|
filtering by
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(1) entering: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter
|
||||||
|
(this only works if your kernel's version is higher than 2.4.5), or
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(2) installing the interfaces in separate broadcast domains (either
|
||||||
|
in different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs).
