Adding a network interface to a bonded interface
I have a RHEL 5 system with a bonded interface configure using only one network port (eth0). So I have config file for ifcfg-bond0 and ifcfg-eth[0-5]. I'd like to configure eth5 to be the second SLAVE in the bond. My question is, after I modify ifcfg-eth5, can I add eth5 to the bond0 interface without disrupting network connectivity by simply doing:

Quote:
ifdown eth5

ifup eth5
I'm trying to avoid restarting the network service because I don't want to interrupt connectivity.

NAME

       pmdabonding - Linux bonded interface performance metrics domain agent (PMDA)

DESCRIPTION

       pmdabonding is a Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) which exports metric values from bonded network interfaces in the Linux kernel.

INSTALLATION

       If you want access to the names and values for the bonding performance metrics, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding
	       # ./Install

       If you want to undo the installation, do the following as root:

	       # cd $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding
	       # ./Remove

       pmdabonding is launched by pmcd(1) and should never be executed directly.  The Install and Remove scripts notify pmcd(1) when the agent is
       installed or removed.

FILES

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding/Install
	   installation script for the pmdabonding agent

       $PCP_PMDAS_DIR/bonding/Remove
	   undo installation script for the pmdabonding agent

       $PCP_LOG_DIR/pmcd/bonding.log
	   default log file for error messages from pmdabonding

SEE ALSO

       pmcd(1) and ifenslave(8).
