Subject: [LARTC] IP Failover
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 17:36:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-lartc-106485798424125@msgid-missing> (raw)

Does anyone know of a system service that will provide automatic IP 
failover on a system with dual (redudnant) Ethernet adapters?

For example, I can simulate this by manually deactivating eth0 and 
activating eth1, although it takes about 15 secs for the MAC address to 
be updated.

It should be relatively simple to write a program that monitors the 
current Ethernet interface and does the change-over automatically (and 
forces the MAC update), but before re-inventing the wheel, I suspect 
there is already a system program that already does this, I just haven't 
found one on Red Hat 8.0.


thanks in advance,


--John Klingler
