9.14.2 BMC Network Bonding
Bonding feature provides a method for aggregating multiple network interfaces into a single
logical bonded network interface. Although multiple network interfaces are bonded, only
one is available at a time. In run-time, the netif_carrier (network link state) is monitored by
polling periodically.
●
Bonding function is disabled by default, users can enable it in WEB GUI or IPMI CMD.
●
Only support Active-backup bonding mode. Default bonding on both NICs (Dedicated and
Shared NICs), means network will be working on the NIC plugged with cable. If both NICs
plugged with cable before BMC bootup, shared NIC will be primary network to be working.
If one NIC plugged with cable before BMC bootup, then anther plugged later, the first NIC
will be working.
●
After bonding, bonding interface uses shared NIC’s MAC to access network, including
bonding to dedicated or shared NIC.
In WEB GUI, go to page “BMC Settings->BMC Network->Network Interface Bonding” to
check and configure bonding function.
