Usijali @okechukwu. I never quite understood why I could not just arrange the wires in the colours of the rainbow when crimping wires..... that part of "history" is a part im glad to leave behind... (FYI i never quite got why they invented a crossover cable). :-) [im certain I have not helped the question in place one single bit].

@Ndungu,
Does assigning an IP to an interface in Linux also change /etc/hosts? I find that weird, but not entirely. Maybe something in Linux 'does that for you' automagically. Anyway, even it does, that should not make services that work based on an IP (which has not been modified) to stop working, right?

Coming in a little late here, but what about:
/etc/hosts /etc/hostname.interfaceX (as per ifconfig -a)
Do they match ?

Hi All,
Am having an issue that has perplexed me so much am now doubting my entire IP knowledge. I have to also say that I have done this setup a numerous amount of times before.
I have a server for monitoring (cacti) and slots well with a public IP address A.A.A.A working fine and monitoring all devices perfectly. I have a separate management VLAN on a different switch with all private IP's 192.168.10.0/24. Now, what baffling me is that immediately I assigned the second network interface of the server to this private IP VLAN, my server loses all incoming connections to its public IP A.A.A.A although the server itself can go out and access all other services (Internet, SNMP) perfectly.
Maybe its something am missing, but this has stuck with me since Thursday last week! Anyone with any pointers?
