I think he is talking about binding 1 IP to multiple NIC's. The purpose
being twofold:
- Redundancy
- Load balancing
Well, it would be a rare day when I would come close to tickling the
capability of a 1GB card. According to what I use the only card that ever
sees a significant load is a 100MB card on one lpar. All the rest are GB.
Not sure about the redundancy. How would one get redundancy? Ok, I can
see the card, and/or the cable from the card to the switch. However I
can't see multiple switches and stuff. How could one IP address be on
multiple switches? This new huge switch you could have ports on a couple
of different cards and perhaps they are hot swappable (a coworkers job).
