Topic: How to connect to two networks?

[Gordon Lee]

Hi,

How should I configure e-smith, via two network cards, to connect to two different networks?

P.S. Not to be configured as a gateway/router.

Thanks in advance,
Gordon

Depends on what you are trying to achieve.

If your two networks are allready physically connected:

Example

192.168.1.0 - Floor 1
192.168.2.0 - Floor 2
(both with Net MASK of 255.255.255.0)

Then all you have to do is setup the e-smith box with lets say 192.168.1.254
Net Mask of 255.255.255.0

From server manager add another local net of 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0

then at the command line do:

[root@server root] $ ifconfig eth0:0 up 192.168.2.254

this will add access to the second subnet all from just one card.
