Re: Can two NIC run concurrently on the same server ?



In principle you can do this, just configure the NIC's as you stated, but
depending upon what roles this mahcine
plays you will have to configure other things to.

If you are running DHCP server on this machine and want it to serve both the
subnets, make sure that DHCP is bound to both the IP addresses, and that
DHCP options
for each scope is configured correctly (if you are using any DHCP options),
giving right Router, DNS etc. options for the right subnet.

On the other hand if you want the DHCP server to serve only one of the
sunets make sure that it is not bound to the IP address of the other subnet.

If you are also running DNS server on this the machine and want it to serve
both subnets, OR if this machine is an AD,
and you want to have clients on both sides then you will have to enable
routing and need to configure routing table.

When the clients look up the server name or your local domain name, the DNS
server will reply giving both IP addresses, the client
will use the first one that is in the reply. So one of the subnets will be
always trying to access through the IP address of the other subnet
and it will not be able to connect, if Routing is not configure with proper
routing table.

On the other hand if the DNS server OR AD, should serve only one of the
subnets just make sure that the DNS server is not bound
to the IP address of the other subnet.
