d. Reboot the server for the new RAMDISK image to take affect by
issuing the following command:
# shutdown -r now
4. After a successful reboot, verify that the parameter values parameters have
changed by issuing the following commands:
# lsmod | grep bonding
# cat /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon
# cat /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode
Bonding Configuration
The following nonpersistent and persistent configuration procedures assume that
the Linux bonding driver has been loaded and that the parameters have been
specified that define the type of bond to be created. For information about loading
the bonding driver, refer to
“Loading the Bonding Driver” on page 6-45 .
Nonpersistent Bonding Configuration
1. Create a bondX network interface. For example, issue the following
command:
# ifconfig bond0 192.168.10.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.10.255 up
2. Add slave interfaces to the bonding interfaces by issuing the following
command:
# ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1
NOTE:
Depending on the server hardware, the RAMDISK file name may
be different. The command is successful if there is no output.
NOTE:
Creating, modifying, or dissolving bonding interfaces may cause the network
connection to be reset. Do not configure bonding on a production system.
NOTE:
Nonpersistent configuration changes (
ifconfig
and
ifenslave
commands) are lost if the server is rebooted.
