Passwordless connections

Hi All!

Please help me with this situation:
I have 3 servers configured with the following network 10.100.48.xx and I have configured on the passwordless connection, and it is working fine.
Now the app vendor ask me to configure a 2nd IP address on each of the 3 servers with a different IP address (192.168.8.x), and these 3 NICs are connected to a different switch, and they say that between these new NICs there must be passwordless connectivity.
Is that possible?

Passwordless connectivity for what?

FWIW -- OS-level authentication is -usually- independent from network configuration.

A user must be able to login using the 192 ip address of the 2nd network card without password using ssh

As long as sshd is listening on the new IP, I don't see why your authentication scheme (I assume key based authentication) wouldn't work on the new network segment.
