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.

We run redundant switches that two nic's on each server connect to. We also run bonding on our servers. Because we have two switches, we can't run lacp or anything. If a switch goes into a crashed state where it doesn't pass traffic but still provides link, bonding thinks the interface is still up and thus will still send traffic through it. Does anybody know a better way to configure the fail over of the interface? This would be a similar situation to somebody using a media converter.

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
On my previous release *cough* if inenslave was needed, bonding instructions didn't work through aggregation did.
cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address 192.168.1.149
netmask 255.255.255.0

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.
Ive been trying to setup bonding on my debian lenny box for about a week now with still no luck.i thinks its ver 2.6.26 or summing like that.The nics are bonded and it has all the network details but for some reason I cannot ping anything on the network and I cannot ping the lenny box.

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]...

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

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

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.

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:

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 would have presumed that you have 2 x agregates giving 2 x 2gig links and the resilience is that if one nic fails in either bond you carry on with that bond running a 1 gig link until fixed. But, our architect wants to have an active/passive (mode 1) accross bond2 and bond3. I have setup tons of mode 1 bonds and mode 4 bonds but never tried bonding 2 x mode 4 bonds!
I'm trying to configure my Red Hat server to use port bonding for two interfaces going to a switch, and I followed this redhat guide [URL]...-redhat-server but when I attempt to bring the bond up, it simply uses mode 0 (round robin) instead of mode 1, which I specifically configured in /etc/modprobe.conf by doing
Code:
options bond0 mode=1
Any ideas why the bond would continue to use round robin when I set it to active-backup?
I just setup a new LAMP server (CentOS 5.5 x86_64) box with channel bonding on NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (IBM x3650 M3).
