Hi The two switches need to be aware that the interfaces is bonded. Normally there is a thick cable running between the swithces. Config will differ from manufacture to manufacturer.
I have copied settings from a kickstart file that is used to setup bonding, specifically failover bonding. #EXTRA_CONFIG_ETH_BONDING # convert ethernet interfaces to bonded setup cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /root/ifcfg-eth0old cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 /root/ifcfg-eth1old cp /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.old cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 |sed -e 's/eth0/bond0/' -e 's/HWADDR/#HWADDR/' > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 cat >/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0<<EOF DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet SLAVE=yes MASTER=bond0 EOF cat >/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1<<EOF DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet SLAVE=yes MASTER=bond0 EOF cat >>/etc/modprobe.conf<<EOF alias bond0 bonding options bond0 mode=1 primary=eth0 miimon=100 EOF Regards > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:rhelv5-list- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wolf2k5 > Sent: 24 January 2008 12:18 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [rhelv5-list] Linux Ethernet bonding and VLANs > > Hi, > > I'm seeking more reliability and I'm planning to connect each of the > two NICs to a different network switch. > > What Linix bonding more should I use for that? > > Do I need any special settings on the two switches? > > Thanks. > > On Jan 23, 2008 8:28 PM, Jussi Silvennoinen > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Be sure to check portchannel capabilities of your switch before > > proceeding.
