Re: Rép. : Re: 2 internet card, 1 IP address

In the information center for IBM i you will find the scenario:


 Scenario: Adapter failover using virtual IP and proxy ARP

It has good instructions on how to set it up.  Last time I did it I did 
the entire process in System i Navigator.  If I recall correctly some of 
the process is required to be done there.

Look under:
 Networking,
    TCP/IP Applications protocols and services,
          TCP/IP routing and workload balancing
