Eth1 reads as Sit0
ifconfig -a reveals that eth0 works fine, but there is now an inactive sit0 (ipv6-in-ipv4) sitting in the output. Now, while I was at the datacenter, I assumed sit0 was just something I can ignore and that eth1 was a dead port. Today, I logged into my switch to try and figure out which server's nic was plugged into which port (I forgot to trace), and I noticed that every server's NIC was plugged in AND reading as online (this included the server with eth0 and sit0).
It is my suspicion that the eth1 on the server is now reading as sit0. How exactly can I correct this? All of my servers have dual gigabit NIC's to support the internal and the local intranet (one nic for each). On the mission critical server, I am being forced to combine eth0 to act as both internet and LAN NIC. The problem is that it places over 40 Mbps of bandwidth onto that NIC at all times. Because of that, and the occasional load spike due to peak hours, I absolutely need to correct this situation.
Thank you.
