[Lustre-discuss] Adding additional ethernet ports to OSS

[Balagopal Pillai]

Hi Brian,

                 From the manual - " Lustre can use multiple NICs 
without bonding"
How does that work from an ip point of view, normally it is not possible 
to have more than one interface on the same machine
on the same subnet. Does this work similar to the round robin bonding mode?

Thanks
Balagopal
