Yes, absolutely. The module name is "bonding". Works well with static IP's. Doesn't work (for me anyway) with DHCP client. Here is an example config from my server: ###/etc/modules.conf### alias eth0 e100 alias eth1 e100 alias eth2 e100 alias eth3 e100 alias bond0 bonding options e100 e100_speed_duplex=4 ####################### ###/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0### DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=no ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.1.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.169.1.255 ################################################ ###/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0### DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=no ONBOOT=yes SLAVE=yes MASTER=bond0 ############################################### Duplicate the eth0 configuration and modify to suit each of your other eth* devices. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
