RE: Re[2]: [cobalt-users] Using the Secondary NIC to connect Two RaQ4r's

["Mike Sisson" <msisson@xxxxxxx>]

you're connecting directly from one NIC to the other ?
the cable needs to be a crossover cable, not straight through wiring.

The private IPs are fine as far as I see them

machine 1 = 192.168.0.100   subnet 255.255.255.0
machine 2 = 192.168.0.200   subnet 255.255.255.0

 So that is why I question the cable between the two NICs

They are on the same network, right together within the rack.  The
secondary NIC on both machines are directly connected to each other
with a single short network cable.

I could just be having a really bad Friday (I know I am tired), but
how is it that I have them set-up on two different networks?  They
both have the same netmask, and the sam IP address....except for the
last three numbers of course.

What IP's would you recommend I give them?  I want to give them
internal IP's so the daily traffic between the two is not going
through the router and causing my 95% average to go higher than really
needs to be....

If I change the subnet mask on both to 255.255.0.0, it will then put
them on the same network?  I am a little confused here, so if you can
explain it more, or point me to some documentation, I would greatly
appreciate it!

Thanks,
Ryan
