4.6 Bonding
The ACS provides failover Ethernet bonding using a PCMCIA card as a second Ethernet
port. Bonding enables redundancy for the Ethernet devices, using the standard Ethernet
interface as the primary mode of access and one PCMCIA card as a secondary mode of
access.
When bonding is enabled, both the Ethernet port and the PCMCIA cards are configured
with the same IP address and the same MAC address. So the PCMCIA interface
automatically takes the place of the standard Ethernet interface if any conditions prevent
access to the ACS through the primary Ethernet port. When the standard interface
regains functionality, it automatically assumes its role as the primary interface, and all
connection sessions are kept up with no interruption.
VI mode
To set the failover Ethernet bonding, edit the /etc/bonding.opts file. To configure it
follow the steps below:
Step 1 - Open the /etc/bonding.opts file.
It is necessary to edit this file, to do this, run the command:
# vi /etc/bonding.opts
Step 2 - Configure the /etc/bonding.opts file
The syntax of this file must be as the following example:
Step 3 - Save the configuration.
To save all changes made, run the command:
# saveconf
enabled = < YES | NO > <--- make the bonding feature active if true and
inactive otherwise
miimon = <positive integer value> <--- this parameter is the interval,
in milliseconds, in which the active interface will be checked to see
if it is still communicating.
updelay = <positive integer value> <--- this parameter will define the
time, in milliseconds, that the system will wait to make the primary
interface active again after it has been detected as up.
