hello, I am having some trouble getting channel bonding to work. I have tried several different setups, as I am not clear how exactly you are supposed to do this. bonding module is loaded at startup (added with modconf) the two pairs of NICs are connected directly using crossover cables. eth0 in both machines is an rtl8139. eth1 in both machines is an fealnx. I am aware of the issue with rtl8139 MAC addresses, but since it is the first card, it doesn't matter (ie, the other card copies its MAC address).
setup 1: eth0 is configured to be 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 in /etc/network/interfaces eth1 is configured to be 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 in /etc/network/interfaces ifup eth0 ifup eth1 ifconfig bond0 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifenslave bond0 eth0 ifenslave bond0 eth1 similar setup on other machine. ping 192.168.2.2 returns nothing. setup 2: eth0 is configured to be 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 in /etc/network/interfaces eth1 is configured to be 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 in /etc/network/interfaces ifup eth0 ifup eth1 ifenslave eth0 eth1 this setup works fine, but eth1 is never used at all. setup 3: eth0 and eth1 are not configured. ifconfig bond0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifenslave -E bond0 eth0 ifenslave -E bond0 eth1 ping 192.168.0.2 drops 2 out of every three packets. --- I have not been able to find any step by step guides for this, or documentation which is detailed enough such that I actually understand how this is "supposed" to work. If anyone knows of any decent links on how to get this going, please let me know. thanks, jason pepas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
