I configured the 2nd interface on one of our devices running 2.4.24 as
192.168.2.121 and there is no CAT-5 connected.
[cfowler at cfowler cfowler]$ ping 192.168.2.121
PING 192.168.2.121 (192.168.2.121) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.2.121: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.405 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.121: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.163 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.121: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.167 ms
I guess eth0 on 192.168.2.120 is responding for 192.168.2.121
