Thanks a lot for all the answers.

Can both the ports of the adapter have same ip connected to two
different ports on two different switches in the same VLAN .

Etherchannel , i read the switch also should be supporting


In a failover etherchannel configuration the network ports are
connected to two different switches. Since the etherchannel gets its
own network device you configure your VLAN on this device.

Example:
ent0 ( eth port 0 )
ent1 ( eth port 0 )
ent2 ( etherchannel on top of ent0 and ent1 as backup adapter )

Some smitty short cuts
smitty etherchannel
smitty vlan

The drawback is you have only one adapter aktive at a time. The
advantage is that you do depend on externel network configration and
the logic is quit simple.

But check the ibm redbook site and IBM documentation about etherchanne/
vlan and ipva to figure out the best solution for your environment
