Hi,

We are using MPC8272 based target board, we use montavista Linux version 
2.6.10 kernel image (with NFS enabled) to our target board,

Our board has  2 FCCs (eth0 and eth1). bot the eth's works perfectly when 
we use them independently, but when we are trying to enable second one 
after the kernel is up using linux command  "ifconfig eth1 192.168.33.64 
up"(IP address)nothing is working.
Please suggest how to enable second eth (either 0 or 1) once the kernel is 
up with NFS file system

I could recall no problems with mpc8272 except stuck PHY which were cured by board power cycle.
I brought up second Ethernet interface a number of times without any problem; even had them replace each 
other serving as NFS root gate.

So I would suggest supplying more information on "nothing is working", prolly kernel output and details about MVL product you are using.

Have you made sure that eth0 and eth1 are on *different* IP subnets?
If they are on the same subnet, or intersecting subnets, your routing
will get confused.

It depends :)

I used to test functionality such a way to have two enets in same subnet, then ifdown one of them.

At least with mvista RFS, one enet  handles NFS, other is up but all the packets are routed to it via
the first one. And when the first one got ifdown, routing switches to the remaining enet...

Hi, Thanks for your kind reply, Yes i have used different * IP Subnets*

The IPs and subnet details I use is
1. eth0(configured through u-boot env settings)->> 192.168.174.231 and 
subnet is 255.255.255.0 
2. eth1(configured after kernel is up)--> 192.168.33.64 and subnet is 
255.255.248.0

Even i tried by connecting second eth to host PC using cross cable as a 
stand-alone network but even "ping" did not work..

Send the results of 
ifconfig
and
route -n
 
I take it eth0 works fine...
 
Have you tried swapping the assignments and see if eth1 works (to
eliminate faulty hardware).

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5869 bytes --]

so eth1 works but eth0 doesn't?
 
what's interesting is here you have no tx/rx/error packets -- how do you
know its not working?
 
Are there machines on this subnet which are working?
 
Also ping into the machine...
 
Its also sometimes useful to have a hub (not a switch) and sniff the
packets...

	I used to test functionality such a way to have two enets in
same subnet, then ifdown one of them.
	
	At least with mvista RFS, one enet  handles NFS, other is up but
all the packets are routed to it via
	the first one. And when the first one got ifdown, routing
switches to the remaining enet...
