Many years ago (before my time) we had the same issue. Istead of mucking 
about with two IP addresses, a pair of teamed network cards would be far 
easirer to implement and maintain. You need a core switch that will 
support it though

Teaming is completely transparent to Legato as well... as far as the 
backup server is concerned, it just sees one NIC that has 200MB bandwidth.

[Networker] Second IP on Server






I am on a 100mb network.  Trying to make my back ups faster. My hp server 
has a single network interface card with two ports. I have a library with 
2 
sdlt 320's rated at 16MB per second per driver. I am averaging 6 or 7 MB 
per second per drive. What I thought I could do is assign a second ip to 
the other nic.  Then go around and change half my host files so that half 
my servers would backup on the other ip, basically increase my input to 
the 
backup server. I did the experiment but networker is giving me a 
connection 
refused. The client recognises the fully qualified domain name and the 
second ip. I am a windows environment. Is there any configuration on the 
networker server that needs to done.
