921.0. "More than one interface in LISx ...?" by BERFS4::NORD () Thu Apr 24 1997 11:43

    
    
    Hi ATM gurus, hi ATM DUNIX gurus,
    
    
    one short question:
    
    is it planned in a future CLIP definition to have more than one
    interface in one and the same LIS (as we can do with all our other
    interfaces like Ethernet and FDDI)?
    
    
    Thanks in advance

	It might be possible to do this with "Classic 2", the replacement for RFC 1577, that is currently being finalized. Classic 2 supports multiple IP addresses associated with the same client. I'm not sure it would be desireable (or even possible) to have them come from two different interfaces, though. Note that while we allow multiple interfaces in the same subnet for Ethernet and FDDI, we also advise customers very strongly not to use this feature. /gary
