documented above.
|

|
||||
To create multiple bonding devices with differing options, it
|
||||
is necessary to load the bonding driver multiple times. Note that
|
||||
current versions of the sysconfig network initialization scripts
|
||||
handle this automatically; if your distro uses these scripts, no
|
||||
special action is needed. See the section Configuring Bonding
|
||||
Devices, above, if you're not sure about your network initialization
|
||||
scripts.
|
||||
is necessary to use bonding parameters exported by sysfs, documented
|
||||
in the section below.
|
||||
|
||||
To load multiple instances of the module, it is necessary to
|
||||
specify a different name for each instance (the module loading system
|
||||
requires that every loaded module, even multiple instances of the same
|
||||
module, have a unique name). This is accomplished by supplying
|
||||
multiple sets of bonding options in /etc/modprobe.conf, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
alias bond0 bonding
|
||||
options bond0 -o bond0 mode=balance-rr miimon=100
|
||||
|
||||
alias bond1 bonding
|
||||
options bond1 -o bond1 mode=balance-alb miimon=50
|
||||
|
||||
will load the bonding module two times. The first instance is
|
||||
named "bond0" and creates the bond0 device in balance-rr mode with an
|
||||
miimon of 100. The second instance is named "bond1" and creates the
|
||||
bond1 device in balance-alb mode with an miimon of 50.
|
||||
|
||||
In some circumstances (typically with older distributions),
|
||||
the above does not work, and the second bonding instance never sees
|
||||
its options. In that case, the second options line can be substituted
|
||||
as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
install bond1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bonding -o bond1 \
|
||||
mode=balance-alb miimon=50
|
||||
|
||||
This may be repeated any number of times, specifying a new and
|
||||
unique name in place of bond1 for each subsequent instance.
