2 networks on the same computer?
Hello,
Is it possible to create 2 networks on the same computer?
I have an HP file server with 2 NIC's.
I have 2 groups of computers (about 10 each).
Both groups needs access to the file server.
In order to balance the traffic, both groups are connected to 2 separate switches.
The first NIC port on the HP file server is connected to switch #1 with the first group of computers. The second NIC port is connected to switch #2 with the second group of computers.
These 2 switches are also connected to another switch that is connected to the corporate domain.
All computers including the file server must be connected to the domain.
Is it possible to have all the computers of Group#1 / switch #1 connect to the file server using NIC #1, and all the computers of Group #2 / switch #2 connect to the file server using NIC #2?
I realize that all the computers on Group #2 would need 2 IP addresses.
1 for the corporate domain, 1 for accessing the second NIC port on the file server.
The computers on Group #1 would only need 1 IP address / 1 network.
Can someone please help explain how to set this up?
