So one of the stickies written by jgreco (HERE) says that using multiple interfaces on the same subnet is a big no-no. The thread is locked, so I'm asking here.
I have a server motherboard that has two 1gb ethernet ports. So I need to disable one of the ports in the BIOS to avoid this multiple interface problem? If it's not recommended to use more than 1, then why is there an option to add more than 1 interface in the GUI?
Also, perhaps something unrelated, I tried configure these two ports for link aggregation, but in the GUI, it does not list any of the network interface at the screen where I have to choose two. Why is this so, and how to fix?
