I installed Fedora 10 and used dynamic IP first. Then I found out that bonding works with static ip only so I switched to static IP. But then, since I have 3 NIC cards, I configured bonding. I need help in these points:
1- steps to follow so that I switch from dynamic to static IP
2- steps to follow so that I configure bonding
I instaled HPML350 G6 server. I would like to configure ethernet fail over. I got the script from my friend and configured and restarted the network services. I am getting the error message that ""Deprecated configure file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belonging to /etc/modprobe.d". System automatically assigning IP address also.

For some reason the unmentioned former disto, I could not get wireless networking under this configuration and a simple wlan0 interface, in case either cable were to sever it would retain a wireless. The bonding was done for speed, and I believe I can't get faster than mode=4.
I am running FC10, How to NIC bonding ..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've run across a few threads in the archived forums regarding nic bonding. I could be wrong but I imagine most of the people that are looking at bonding are probably really wanting what they would get out of creating a LAG between their Ubuntu Server and a managed switch capable of LACP trunks. If you have two NICS on your ubuntu server and want 2gps throughput & failover check out the page on creating a LAG. Obviously this requires your switch to be compatible though. [URL]...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to run networking on my laptops in different environment (home, office, airport etc). I found that Netowrk Manager assigns information from DHCP although I requested fixed IP and configured the gateway and DNS. If I reconfigure the DHCP server so that there is no free IP address, the laptop refuses to connect. When I remove the interfaces from the network manager, I get the fixed IP address, /etc/resolv.conf is not overwritten from DHCP but WiFi connection cannot be established, there is no dialog for setting WPA-PSK. The static IP address seems to be taken into account only if the DHCP server is not found. I need the static address at home and in my office because I need the possibility to ssh to my laptop from another computer but I need IP from DHCP possibly authenticating against RADIUS (Eduroam) when travelling somewhere else. Is there an easy way how to achieve it and how to switch profiles easily? And I cannot switch DHCP off because some devices in my LAN cannot work without it.

Is it possible to make Bonding?
I am seeing an issue on a few servers where it doesn't appear all NICs in the 802.3ad lag are all operating at the same level. A few of the servers have two bonds each with two NICs in each bond.I have two NFS servers that each has 1 bond with 3 NICs.All are RHEL5 x64 2.6.18.I think the reason why I see one interface dominating RX and another dominating TX is due to the xmit_hash_policy but there are three hosts that use this particular server for network traffic.That's 3 different physical mac addresses.The layer2 algorithm should be fine in that situation I would think.Would I just be better off with balance-rr?

I am confused as to what is going on with a particular box that I am working with.As you can see in the attached ifconfig print out, one eth port is basically only used as a output while the other is only really used as an input.I connect to the box via 10.20.40.104 for ssh,ftp,http,etc.I just want to know the name of what is happening (is it bonding,bridging?) and maybe some information about where it is configured.I looked in modprobe.conf
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:C9:EE:5A:91

I've seen a lot of questions on the forum about static IP's and how often people have problems configuring them. Here is how it works:
If you have a router in your network, the router is the boss. You can configure anything you want in your computer's network manager, but in the end, the router will win. Say you have 3 computers and configure each one for a static IP. If the router is still set to assign IP's dynamically, it may want to ignore that unless you boot the computers in order of IP#. In other words if you set your IP's to .001. .002, and .003 you have to boot the one with .001 first to be sure it gets that IP.
If you boot .002 first the router wants to assign it the first IP in the list; .001. If the computer will only accept .002 the router may (or may not depending on the router) eventually assign it .002, or you end up with a power struggle between the computer and the router, and have no connection to that computer.
That said sometimes setting IP's on each computer works, at least most of the time, again depending on the router. Some routers will assign the same IP to the same computer when each has individual settings, but even then you still have to deal with settings on each computer; a lot of work. And at some point you will probably still have a glitch or problem, at least temporarily. In my experience setting static IP's on the computers is hit or miss in the long run.
If you set the static IP's in the router and make sure the router recognizes each computer by it's MAC address it's a done deal. You can boot the computers in any order, they will always be assigned the same IP, and you don't have to do anything on any of your your computers or in your network managers to make it happen. Bada bing, bada boom, done. Less work, more stable network, fewer headaches.
i was trying to setup a static ip in order to forward ports but with no luck. I need to setup these:
- IP address: 192.168.1.2
- Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
- Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
- Preferred DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
I have a question about bonded NICs and the switches they are connected to.
I have a server which needs to send a lot of data to another server quickly. Both have multiple GbE NICs. I understand what is required at the server end (I think) in that a pseudo-interface is created such as bond0 with the IP applied to that interface rather than eth0 and eth1.
My question relates to the connection between the servers, i.e. the switch. Is a specific type of switch required for this to work, as an IP will have 2 (or more) MAC addresses associated with it, or how does the switch decide to which port to route the traffic for the bond0 IP?
Also, will this only work when multiple connections are being made? What I mean is, will each individual TCP connection only use either the physical eth0 OR the physical eth1 interface, or can a single connection make use of the aggregated bandwidth, sending one packet to one physical interface and another to the other physical interface, using the bond0 IP as the destination?
What I am trying to work out is if I had a storage server connected to an application server and exporting storage using NFS or GlusterFS, would an aggregated link improve throughput?
I have 4 DSL modems connected with 4 different ISP's my scenario is
a) My FC-2 machine with LAN IP=192.168.10.1 and Bond0 IP=192.168.1.1
b) Modem-A LAN IP= 192.168.1.2 , ext IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
c) Modem-B LAN IP=192.168.1.3, ext IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
d) Modem-C LAN IP=192.168.1.4, ext IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
e) Modem-D LAN IP=192.168.1.5, ext IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Modem-A, B, C, and D LAN connected with my FC-2 machine, and all 4 interfaces of my machine are in Bond0, Now please help me what default Gateway I should set in my FC-2 machine?>??? or I have to set 4 gateways in my machine?and will this configuration works?

As Xen is based on LINUX I'm hoping that someone out there could help me. I'm struggling with 802.3ad on a cisco switch (LACP). I'm going to be using this for my storage network on a dedicated cisco switch talking to a teamed pair of intel NIC's ISCSI storage. From the intel side I can set them to Link aggregated one team 2GB this is fine and my config shows active active on the NICs. How would I go about doing this from a LINUX box. In order to remove any bottle necks it needs to be active active from Xen. If I do a pif-forget uuid= on a XEN server I'm in complete control using Linux.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just installed Fedora 10 on an old laptop and was quite impressed with how smoothly it all went ... until it came to setting up networking!
I have battled for three days now and I'm almost there;
- installed updated firmware to the built in Broadcom 4306 wireless network adapter
- got NetworkManager to work with a static ip address by manually editing the ifcfg-wlan0 file
- managed to get the WPA security to work
The only problem I am left with is that there is no default route; if I set one up using: ip r a default via 10.1.1.1 dev wlan0
Then everything starts working.
If I try to add routes using the NetworkManager gui interface they dont get saved (no suprises there then! ).
I have tried creating a route-wlan0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ but this seems to be ignored by NetworkManager.
Since the NetworkManager GUI is almost useless, does anyone know if there are any other configuration files I can manually modify to get a default route set?
I cannot get a static IP to work on Fedora 11. Using Network Manager, I set the IP to 192.168.1.130, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway to 192.168.1.0 but it doesn't work. I also tried 192.168.1.1 for the gateway, which is what I used in FC7 but still no luck. I verified that these are the settings that I used in FC7, I don't remember ever having a problem before with this.I do remember someone telling me not to use Network Manager in conjunction with Network Configuration... does that make sense? That was for FC9 on my laptop and it was for the wireless so perhaps that doesn't apply here. I did try unchecking the box for Network Manager and using strictly Network Configuration but it still didn't work.

I just set up NIC bonding in Ubuntu 10.4, following these instructions, and I've got it working except for one problem: Every time I up or down a network device, or every time the system reboots, my routes go all to hell with eth0 and eth1 entries next to my bond0 entries. When the eth0 and eth1 entries show up, my connection is hosed and I have to go in via the maintenance IP to kill each route one at a time, leaving only bond0. Here's how I want my routes to look at all times:
Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.87.9.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 bond0

Just for the learning sake, I was going through this document for Bonding of Two Ethernet Cards for Fault-Tolerance (active-backup). Here, /etc/modprobe.conf is as
Code:
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 mode=1 arp_ip_target=192.168.1.1 arp_interval=200 primary=eth0
Now, I just wanted to to know,
- What parameter is arp_ip_target and why it is used.
- Why the IP is 192.168.1.1, whereas the IP in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-bond0 is 192.168.1.5.
- Can I use the below /etc/modprobe.conf ?

Upgraded a school network from FastEthernet to GigabitEthernet. Broke the network up into VLANs. Discovered that the router (Cisco 2821) could only route between the VLANs at around 400Mb/s. Tested out some layer three switches. They work very nicely, but are more than we need. So I started putting some spare equipment we had together as a Linux router.
Result: Underwhelmed. The machine has two Intel GigE interfaces. With the machine configured to route between two test VLANs I get about 855Mb/s with a single interface (all VLANs trunked over the single interface). That's about what I'd expect. Maybe a little low. With the two interfaces bonded, I get about the same.
For testing, I set up eight Windows machines, four on each VLAN. The Linux router is the only machine that can route between the two VLANs. I used Iperf to generate traffic and measure throughput between pairs of machines. Two machines on the same VLAN get about 300Mb/s between themselves. With the four machines organized into cross-VLAN pairs, I get about 855Mb/s total throughput on a single interface and very slightly more with two interfaces bonded.
The Linux router has an Intel Xeon E5506 CPU running at 2.13GHz and these are Intel GigE interfaces (built-in). I would expect to get a large boost by adding the second interface. I've confirmed that bonding is working (by pulling either of the cables and watching everything continue to function).
I am running RHEL 5.3 on a blade server w/ 2 NICs that are bonded. I have 2 VLANs that I am trying to configure. I have created the network-scripts ifcfg-bond0.<vlan#>. I can ping the device but the gateway won't ping. I am in console mode so cutting and pasting output doesn't work.

I am a windows user with no linux experience prior to Friday. Im setting up a music server (SqueezeCenter) running Fedora 10.
With the help of posts of this site Ive made good progress with complicated stuffnamely getting Samba and VNC working. My Fedora machine and my windows machines now see each others shared files, and I can control my Fedora machine from my windows machine. (The Fedora machine will ultimately be headless.)
But Im having trouble with a seemingly simple issue setting up my Fedora box with a static IP address. With DHCP enabled on my network Ethernet adapter, all works fine. I then used the System>Administration>Network menu to disable DHCP and to assign the same IP address that DHCP chose. When I do this, two cases need to be distinguished:
1. If I keep the box checked for Controlled by Network Manager, the Network Manager Applet reports a network connection, I nevertheless cannot access the internet, but my Fedora machine is able to communicate with my Squeezebox music player (connected to my network via my DSL modem Ethernet connections, and with a fixed IP address). 2. If I uncheck the box Controlled by Network Manger, then the Network Manager Applet reports no network connection and my Fedora machine is not able to communicate with my Squeezebox music player (and I of course have no internet connectivity).
Ive seen references on other posts suggesting that the Network Manager service be disabled. But I see no way to manually configure the network.
Yes, another newbie question. Just loaded and updated FC 10. Everything works great with dhcp. Tried to setup static ip to learn more about how to set it up and nothing seems to work. I'm connected to DSL via a router when I ifconfig I get:(basic stuff)inet addr: 192.168.1.7 Bcast: 192.168.1.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
I have also tried default gateway 192.168.1.255 and 192.168.1.254.Most of what I have tried above has come from linux websites and faq's.Keeping in mind I am worst than any new newbie you have ever worked with
I can access internet when my eth0 is set toDHCP client. But when I set static I can ping goole.com... but my Firefox browser doesn't connect to Interent!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm pulling my hair out to figure out what's gone wrong. I have a small home network with a router and 4 computers, 3 linux boxes and 1 windoze machine.The windoze machine and 2 of the linux boxes (newer ones, one with FC11 and the other with Ubuntu Hardy) are using the router's "Set Static IP" option just fine. However an older FC5 machine I have always gets its IP assigned randomly. As this is the machine I ssh into from overseas via a Dynamic DNS, this is a huge frustration when the power goes off or I need to restart the machine. It's usually 192.168.0.2 but sometimes 192.168.0.3 and occasionally other numbers as well. It _should_ be 192.168.0.130. As near as I can tell, I'm doing everything the same between the machines. The router config is very simple and works for the other systems so I suspect I may have a legacy tweak that I did years ago that's causing the problem.
Anyone know what I can try? I'm afraid I'm not a networking guru (ahem, wouldn't be posting if I were!) so things like "check the this" will be more helpful if there's a clear example. "Check the this...emacs /etc/thisfile/config" and see if XYZ option is TRUE" is far more useful. Again, many thanks. If none of the systems were working right then it would be totally different...but 3 seem to work just fine and happily get their assigned static IPs. It's the one non-conformist that's the trouble...
