(Answer) (Category) NetMAXFAQ : (Category) Configuration :
After configuring a second Ethernet interface, one of my Ethernet interfaces seems to stop working.
Applies to:  NetMAX FreeBSD Bld475
             NetMAX Linux 2.0.37 - 4.0x
address-suppressed
You may encounter this problem when assigning IP addresses on multiple Ethernet interfaces that are placed on the same logical network. For IP routing to function properly, multiple broadcast interfaces (ie. Ethernet) may not be on the same logical network. This condition is checked for and disallowed on NetMAXes > BLD475. 
    Change the IP assignment of one of the Ethernet interfaces so that it
is not on the same logical network. 
    Here's an example:
    BAD:
      Ethernet interface    IP address       Netmask
      xl0                   192.168.0.1      255.255.255.0
      xl1                   192.168.0.2      255.255.255.0
    Interface xl0 is on the network 192.168.0/255.255.255.0, and so is xl1.

    CORRECT:
      Ethernet interface    IP address       Netmask
      xl0                   192.168.0.1      255.255.255.0
      xl1                   192.168.1.1      255.255.255.0
    Interface xl0 is on the 192.168.0/255.255.255.0 network, and xl1 is on the
192.168.1/255.255.255.0 network.
