PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services Configuration and Administration Guide: Redundant Line Control Function 4.2 (for Linux)

2.2.3 Sharing physical interface

If multiple virtual interfaces are created, these interfaces can share one or all physical interfaces. This is called "sharing physical interface".

Using this capability, it is possible to:

• Decrease the number of NICs used for the redundancy operation, and make effective use of limited resources in Fast switching mode.
• Configuring multiple IP addresses on a single NIC in NIC switching mode and use different IP address for each application.
