multiple interfaces - multiple stations

[Fermin Rodriguez]

hey guys..
so i have this server with 4 nic.s i named then console, wk1, wk2, and wk3. ips are 192.168.10.5, 101.6, 102.6 and 103.6
i have 3 worstations with ip 10.10, 10.20 and 10.30.
this is a simple CIF share, but my idea is to create the network drive using one interface per workstation. meaning
wk1 with ip 10.10 will connect to the server tru ip 101.6.
i configured each interface, but i cant ping them.. and they dont even light up (activity light, the detection green light is on)
running a netif restart on shell shows no carrier. (for some reason)
is a cheap switch so doubt LAG will be supported

You need some networking basics...

In particular, you need to understand the relationship between IPs, subnets, and gateways. The last paragraph "How does all this work together?" explains how it works and you should see your error. :)

As the router didnt allowed class b networks.. I decided to use windows ip aliases.
Basically each of the server ports is a different network on the class c.(1.5, 11.5, 12.5, 13.5)
I added a second set of ip to each computer
1.11 and 11.11, 1.12 and 12.12, 1.13 and 13.13)
And it worked. I made sure the network drives pointed to the ip i wanted it to go and im set.

I know it's old post, but I would like to know how you set it up in more details ?
