Gents,
So I got this shiny new SuperMicro mobo - great for IPMI, but these two NIC's are probably way overkill for me. I keep seeing all these messages in my console about how the MAC address keeps changing - I wonder if it's because I've never truly, properly configured the interfaces?
When I first set up the board, I just did as I usually do on a single-LAN board : I configured the interface (one interface, that is) for IPv4, and that's that. Never touched the other one. Both NIC's are connected to a dumb switch, btw.
Regardless of whether or not my MAC messages (which don't seem to harm anything anyway) are only nuisance or serious, I'd like to do this right. Should I configure a LAGG for failover? (I know my switch doesn't support LACP.) Or should I simply unplug the second cable and be done with it?
Cheers!
