Thanks Digimer for the quick response and pointing me to the link . I am yet to
reach cluster configuration , initially trying to understand ethernet bonding
before going into cluster configuration. So , option for me is only to use
Active/Passive bonding mode in case of clustered environment.
Few more clarifications needed , Can we use other bonding modes in non
clustered environment . I am seeing packet loss in other modes . Also , the
support of using only mode=1 in cluster environment is it a restriction of
RHEL Cluster suite or it is by design .
Will be great if you clarify these queries .
Thanks in Advance
Zaman
