Virtual etc interfaces??

So after getting a Nagios plugin up and running that checks certain things including network interfaces, I get an error off the one box I built (as opposed to all of the others that were built by a former employee). The error complains of the "NIC logical group" failing.

All the boxes are HP DL380's with four physical NIC interfaces and an iLO port. For some reason the boxes not built by me all have ifcfg-eth configuration files for eth0 - eth5 (which would be six interfaces). While the machine I build only has eth0 - eth3 which corresponds to the four physical interfaces.

SO, I can assume from the error above, and the fact that eth4 and eth5 are not physical interfaces that they are some kind of logical interfaces configured but I'm not sure where to go from here with my investigation. I'm thinking there is some kind of link aggregation or bonding maybe going on, but not sure how to investigate this in Centos/Linux in general. Smilie

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

IPSEC_TNCFG(8)							  [FIXME: manual]						    IPSEC_TNCFG(8)

NAME
ipsec_tncfg - manipulate KLIPS virtual interfaces SYNOPSIS
ipsec tncfg ipsec tncfg --create virtual ipsec tncfg --delete virtual ipsec tncfg --attach --virtual virtual --physical physical ipsec tncfg --detach --virtual virtual ipsec tncfg --clear ipsec tncfg --version ipsec tncfg --help OBSOLETE
Note that tncfg is only supported on the classic KLIPS stack. It is not supported on any other stack and will be completely removed in future versions. A replacement command still needs to be designed DESCRIPTION
The historical use of tncfg is to attach/detach IPsec virtual interfaces (e.g. ipsec0) to/from physical interfaces (e.g. eth0) through which packets will be forwarded once processed by KLIPS. The modern use of tncfg is to create and delete virtual interfaces known as mastXXX. mast stands for Mooring and XXX. The form with no additional arguments lists the contents of /proc/net/ipsec_tncfg. The format of /proc/net/ipsec_tncfg is discussed in ipsec_tncfg(5). The --attach form attaches the virtual interface to the physical one. The --detach form detaches the virtual interface from whichever physical interface it is attached to. The --clear form clears all the virtual interfaces from whichever physical interfaces they were attached to. Virtual interfaces typically have names like ipsec0 or mast0 while physical interfaces typically have names like eth0 or ppp0. EXAMPLES
ipsec tncfg --create mast12 creates the mast12 device. ipsec tncfg --create ipsec4 creates an ipsec4 device, but does not attach it. ipsec tncfg --attach --virtual ipsec0 --physical eth0 attaches the ipsec0 virtual device to the eth0 physical device. FILES
