The first attempt to do this, with a manual "move the cable between ports, and use the same IP address for both" didn't work. If I get too much further, I'll make a new cable (it's a long run, this server isn't in the service area/room/closet yet) and try it the hard way. Would you suggest using two different IP addresses, given that there are two MACs ?
