Re: [Linux-cluster] bonding

Bonding can be tricky. I missed the parent request.  What I've learned
about bonding is that how the module is loaded makes all the difference:

# Loading module:
# for Red Hat AS4, may work with other 2.6 Linuxes.
install bond0 /sbin/modprobe bonding -o bond0 mode=0 miimon=100
# for Red Hat AS3, may work with other 2.4 Linuxes.
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 -o bonding mode=0 miimon=100

# For Redhat distributions
# ifcfg-ethx
DEVICE=ethx
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none

# ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=172.16.48.66
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=172.16.48.1
