Ans. The secondary IP address can be used to configure NetWare as a multihomed host. Then the client will see each secondary IP address as a logical host. Secondary IP address can also be used to launch different services on different IP addresses. Another benefit that secondary IP address provides is that it can be configured as virtual IP address using the NoArp option which can be used for load balancing in a clustering environment.
