Yuli,

We finally found the reason of the 2nd ethernet is some hardware parts got some problem. Now, the 2nd ethernet port works fine.

I noticed in include\configs\MPC8260ADS.h #define FETHIEN2 0x01000000 should be changed to #define FETHIEN2 0x10000000 /*BCSR3 bit3 FETHIEN2*/

Thanks a lot for your advice and help!

charles

Probably it is. Try a sniffer (ethereal, tcpdump) on the host to see if anything is transmitted by the board.

Jihua> 2) However, "ping 172.18.100.54" fail. the message "ping Jihua> failed; host 172.18.100.54" is not alive. FCC3 Rx Clock Jihua> is set to CLK15. PortB4~17, PortC16~17 are enabled.

Why do you think that the problem is still at the hardware level? What are the board's IP address, MAC address, subnet mask, etc. (just type printenv). You write that 172.18.100.54 exists but you don't write anything about the host to which this address belongs. Is it a Linux machine? Does it respond to pings at all? What's about subnets? There are too many possible reasons for ping failure.
