How to configure two network interface into a same subnet?

["Shirley Shi" <shshi @ eatnindy2 . beijing . sgi . com>]

Can anybody tell me how to configure two network interface into a some subnet?

I wants to configure the two ATM interfaces using same a subnet
address(192.11.214.0) on a SGI workstation, for example, one is 192.11.214.10
and another is 192.11.214.11. But I found if I assigned the two ATM interfaces
into same a subnet, the IRIX system couldn't work correctly. If I assiged the
two ATM interfaces into two different subnet(ex: 192.11.214.10 and
192.11.215.20), our IRIX system could work correctly. Do you know that two
network interfaces(such as ATM, ethernet or FDDI) in a UNIX machine can be
assigned into same a subnet? If can, how should I configure?

Thanks,

Shirley
