Hello, Is it possible to bond together sets of bonded interfaces under Linux? I've been playing with this for the last day or so to try and get link aggregation and fault tolerance across multiple switches working in an active/passive configuration.
The host is setup with four interfaces configured as: bond0 (eth0, eth1) -> switchA -> core bond1 (eth2, eth3) -> switchB -> core Under Solaris, I'd set this with link aggregation so eth0/eth1 and eth2/eth3 would each be their own aggregate, and then pair the two together using IP multipathing, but I can't seem to find an equivalent way of doing this under Linux. Am I going about this all wrong? (Some background: Cisco VSS is being set up here *to some degree*, but the switches we're testing on/going to purchase to sit in the racks don't support it in a fashion needed to do EtherChannel across the rack switches for non-uplink ports. If we hooked directly to the core, we'd be able to set this up so all links were active instead of the hack we're trying to do. At least, this is what our network ops guys are telling us.) Thanks!
