Deafault Gateway on multiple interfaces

by simran . Updated 19 years ago

There are two active network interfaces on our server machine. Both have same default gateway with DHCP enabled.

————————————————
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : ***.***.**
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.109.56.11
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . : 10.109.56.1

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : ***.***.**
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.109.56.12
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . : 10.109.56.1

Our network administrator says that setting same default gateway on both adapters is a bad practice. But when we remove default gateway on one of the adapters then it stops sending packets.

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks in Advance
