Yup, bonding is really cool, and trivially simple to setup. |
| 10 |
Enable CONFIG_BONDING as a module, in "Network device support". Install |
| 11 |
ifenslave, then edit /etc/modules.d/bond, like this: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
alias bond1 bonding |
| 14 |
options bond1 mode=1 miimon=100 max_bonds=5 |
| 15 |
|

You probably want mode 0, I use mode 1 for redundancy only. Then change your |
| 17 |
net config to something like this: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
config_eth0=( "null" ) |
| 20 |
config_eth4=( "null" ) |
| 21 |
RC_NEED_bond1="net.eth0 net.eth4" |
| 22 |
slaves_bond1="eth0 eth4" |
| 23 |
config_bond1=( "192.168.1.1/24" ) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Then you use bondX from then on (no net.ethX should be in any runlevel). |
