Configure Bonding for Multiple ixgbe Interfaces

  1. Use the modprobe command to configure the mode:

    # modprobe bonding mode=balance-rr miimon=100 max_bonds=1

    In this command,

    • max_bonds is the number of bond interfaces to be created.

    • mode specifies the bonding policy. (This example uses balance-rr.)

  2. Use the ifconfig command to create the bond:

    # ifconfig bond0 192.2.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.2.2.255
    # ifenslave bond0 eth4 eth5

    In this command bond0 is the bonding device.

  3. Configure the bondn interfaces.

    In this example, two bonds (bond0 and bond1) are configured:

    # modprobe bonding mode=balance-rr miimon=100 max_bonds=2
    # ifconfig bond0   192.2.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.2.2.255
    # ifenslave bond0 eth4 eth5
    # ifconfig bond1   193.2.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 193.2.2.255
    # ifenslave bond1 eth6 eth7
