If a computer is configured with more than one IP address, it is referred to as a multi-homed system. Multi-homed systems
are supported in one of three ways:
- Multiple IP addresses per NIC (logical multi-homed): Using the Control Panel, five addresses per card may be configured. However,
more addresses may be added to the registry.
- Requirements: NT4, SP4
- The total number of IP addresses allowed per NIC depends on the installed NIC. Based on the test results, a 3COM905BTX can
handle about 2000 IP addresses.
- Multiple NICs per physical network (physical multi-homed):
- No restrictions other than hardware.
- Multiple networks and media types:
- No restrictions other than hardware and media support.
