Multiple IP on single LAN card

Multiple IP on single LAN card

Yesterday I was taking an interview and I asked a simple question that how many IPs can be there on a single lan card and I was amazed because that guy answered me only one. In fact he was very good in network and hardware knowledge but then also he was not knowing this answer so I decide to right it on my blog that how many IP can be there on one LAN card and how to do that in windows machine.

On a single LAN card we can give 1024 IP yes 1024 IP it’s a different thing that we are not going to do it ever in normal case. What about limitation of Windows machine? In fact I also do not know about windows Maximum IP limitation but I have tested it with 32 IP on a windows Vista machine and it worked fine for all 32 IP on that machine.




Ok now let’s see how we can give more than one IP on a single machine

First open properties of your lan card select Internet protocol version and then click on properties button.

It will open you another window where you give your single IP. For providing one more additional IP what you need to do is just click on the advanced button and it will open one more window is advanced TCP/IP settings.

Here click on add and it will give one more prompt windows with heading TCP/IP address. In this window you can give additional IP and subnet mask ID.

You can give as much IP as you need to give by the same way.

Ok we gave multiple IP but what about the multiple Default gateways.

So for giving additional default gateways go to advanced TCP/IP setting again and this time click on the add button of Default gateways option

it will open a window named TCP/IP gateways address just give you default gateways address here and click on add you are done with this.

Needless to say you can give multiple default gateway in the same way.

OK now we are done with IP and gateways what about multiple DNS address on a single LAN card.

By default you can give 2 DNS address without any additional click but what if you need to give more than 2 DNS address then what to do?

Answer is simple just go to TCP/IP settings window again and click on DNS tabthan click on Add button.
It will open a TCP/IP DNS server window
just give your DNS server IP here and here you are done with this also.
Here you can prioritise your DNS server IP as per your requirement by appending them
Do contact me if you get any problem

Complete backup solution single tool
Posted by AP at 2:54 PM

Complete backup solution by a single tool

I gave simple backup script in my previous post that could copy the data at backup location and it could zip it and rename it with current date but what if you want to have an incremental data backup or what if you want to copy something on your ftp server religiously for keeping something more secured. This time I am here with a solution that can not only backup or upload data but can do many other tasks also.

This is simple light weight software that can do Backup, Restore of backup, FTP Mirroring, uploading data on FTP, Download and copy the data from local computer as well as from network too. You can decide the time and priority for any task and you can schedule it.

The best thing with this tool is that you can back up the data not only on local machine but also on ftp as well as on DVD also.

If you need it you can download if from here for free.

I am using a downloaded version and I have no issue in using it.

I hope it was useful for you

Exchange server 2007 online backup in windows server 2008

I installed MS Exchange server 2007 on a windows server 2008 environment and combination of both worked pretty good. But as a non written rule every good thing holds a bad thing in it. So what this combination of Windows server 2008 and Exchange server 2007 does.

In Windows server 2008 it’s not possible to take online backup of Exchange server 2007 because windows server 2008 doesn’t support online backup of exchange server 2007.

I was felling lot of pain because of this online backup unavailability because it generates lot of logs that make my server’s hard disk full and it stops my exchange server to work. For Deleting log my friend created a utility that could delete all the logs easily on daily basis. You can get more detail for this utility from here or you can it discuss about it here.

We created that utility but I was not happy with that so I looked for some other solution and I found it.

I saw that in windows vista we do not have the hyper terminal but we can use that by copying the necessary file from XP. I tried the same thing for windows server 2008 also and looked for Windows NT backup files and that worked. For more about hyperterminal in vista visit my previous post here

Exchange server 2007 work on windows server 2003 so Windows NT backup can take the online backup of exchange server 2007. When you run windows NTbackup.exe in windows server 2008 it render all the information of exchange server 2007 and it can take online backup of exchange server 2007 in windows server 2008. Its backup is as simple as you used to do in windows server 2003.

Only thing that we need to take as precaution is that for a 64 bit OS we should use a 64 bit server 2003 file and for a 32 bit OS we should use 32 bit server 2003 files.

If you have any problem in using ntbackup utility in windows server 2008 you can discus that on my website www.techraga.com forum here.

For making your life easy I extracted the files of NT backup and uploaded it. you can download it from here with your respected version.

For 64Bit version of windows server download from here

For 32 bit version of windows server download it from here

Password for both the zip file is www.techraga.com
