[SunHELP] Help Needed with Mutiple Network interfaces

[Rajesh Vadde]

Hi All,
Here is our configuration:

1) Sun Fire 4800 with 4 Gigabit interface cards.
2) Two cards set for 172.18.18.X Network and other two for 172.18.19.X
Network.
3) Here is the routing table
#netstat -nr

Routing Table: IPv4
  Destination           Gateway           Flags  Ref   Use   Interface
-------------------- -------------------- ----- ----- ------ ---------
172.18.18.0          172.18.18.137         U        1    280  ge0
172.18.18.0          172.18.18.138         U        1      0  ge1
172.18.19.0          172.18.19.137         U        1    299  ge2

158.137.199.0        158.137.199.127       U        1    386  hme1
224.0.0.0            158.137.199.127       U        1      0  hme1

4) Here is ifconfig output:-

#ifconfig -a

        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

        ether 0:3:ba:7:bb:58

Issues:-

1) When ever I ping the g1 and g3 interfaces from another system, I am
able to ping. But I found packets are going only on g0 and g2
interfaces. What I observed in netstat -i is output packets on g1 and g3
interfaces are very less. Even if I snoop on g1 and g3 interfaces, I do
not see any traffice on them.

Please help me in this. We want to use both the interfaces to support
our network traffic, to spread the clients all 4 interfaces.

Thanks in advance
