To Configure Bonding for Multiple e1000
Interfaces

1. Modify the /etc/modules.conf file for 2.4 kernels or the /etc/modprobe.conf

file for 2.6 kernels file by adding these lines:

where:

bond0

is the bonding device.

max_bonds

is the number of bond interfaces to be created.

mode

specifies the bonding policies.

miimon

is the frequency in milliseconds that MII link monitoring will occur.

Refer to Linux documentation for more information.

2. Load the bonding driver:

3. Configure bond0 interface.

In this example, bond0 is the master of the two interfaces eth2 and eth3.

alias bond0 bonding

options bonding max_bonds=2 mode=4 miimon=1000

# modprobe bonding

# ip addr add 192.12.38.64/24 brd + dev bond0

# ip link set dev bond0 up

# ifenslave bond0 eth2 eth3
