For a while now I've had my ethernet and wifi devices bonded in active-backup mode, such that (on my home network, where they're bridged) I can seamlessly unplug and retain my IP address and all active connections, losing only speed. I've installed the latest NetworkManager from git, and I'm trying to replicate this setup with NM. I run Arch, which installed a NetworkManager.conf that uses the keyfile plugin. There doesn't seem to be any documentation describing the use of anything but the ifcfg-rh plugin - can this even be expected to work?
I have a bonding connection set up with type=bond, and a bond section in its config: [bond] interface-name=bond0 mode=active-backup But nm-cli reports the mode as balance-rr. Similarly, the slave devices have connections set up with master=bond0 and slave-type=bond. These seem to work, in that I get the expected error if I try to apply any IP configuration to the slaves directly, but I can see that NM tries to bring up the master without ever enslaving the slave interfaces, and DHCP fails since it has no slaves. Is there something I'm missing? The keyfile plugin is supposed to handle all possible options according to the documentation, but the mapping between it and sample configurations for other plugins is not always clear. -- Andrew Mahone andrew DOT mahone AT gmail DOT com _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
