the output is similar to
Figure 6-32 , the bonding driver has been successfully
loaded.
Figure 6-32. Loading the Bonding Driver
Unloading the Bonding Driver
To unload the bonding driver, enter the following command:
# modprobe -r bonding
To verify that the bonding driver has been unloaded, enter the
lsmod | grep
bonding
command as described in “Loading the Bonding Driver” on page 6-45
To display the bonding driver version and the configurable parameters, enter the
following:
# modinfo bonding
Changing Bonding Driver Parameters
modprobe is a Linux utility that intelligently adds or removes a module from the
Linux kernel. modprobe also has an option to specify a parameter value when
loading the driver. You can make nonpersistent changes or persistent changes to
the bonding driver.
Making Nonpersistent Changes to the Bonding Driver
To make
changes to driver parameters that are not persistent across reboots or driver
reloads, use the modprobe command. For example:
1. Unload the Linux Bonding driver module by issuing the following command:
# modprobe -r bonding
NOTE:
When initially configuring a bond or modifying bonding related parameters,
enter the
tail -f /var/log/messages
command in a separate window,
and watch for bonding driver status messages.
