IFENSLAVE(8) BSD System Manager's Manual IFENSLAVE(8)NAME
ifenslave -- Attach and detach slave network devices to a bonding device.
SYNOPSIS
ifenslave [-acdfhuvV] [--all-interfaces] [--change-active] [--detach] [--force] [--help] [--usage] [--verbose] [--version] master slave ...
DESCRIPTION
ifenslave is a tool to attach and detach slave network devices to a bonding device. A bonding device will act like a normal Ethernet network
device to the kernel, but will send out the packets via the slave devices using a simple round-robin scheduler. This allows for simple load-
balancing, identical to "channel bonding" or "trunking" techniques used in switches.
The kernel must have support for bonding devices for ifenslave to be useful.
OPTIONS -a, --all-interfaces
Show information about all interfaces.
-c, --change-active
Change active slave.
-d, --detach
Removes slave interfaces from the bonding device.
-f, --force
Force actions to be taken if one of the specified interfaces appears not to belong to an Ethernet device.
-h, --help
Display a help message and exit.
-u, --usage
Show usage information and exit.
-v, --verbose
Print warning and debug messages.
-V, --version
Show version information and exit.
If not options are given, the default action will be to enslave interfaces.
EXAMPLE
The following example shows how to setup a bonding device and enslave two real Ethernet devices to it:
# modprobe bonding
# ifconfig bond0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
# ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1

eql_enslave - enslave a network interface with a master interface
SYNOPSIS
eql_enslave <master-name> <slave-name> <estimated-bps>
DESCRIPTION
eql_enslave enslaves a PPP or SLIP network interface to another, named master interface or eql device.
The MTU must match the MTU of your serial line device, otherwise, eql_enslave just fails when it is called. You have also to turn off Van-
Jacobson compression on your slave devices.
Once the eql device is configured, it will stay up and running until you shut it down manually or reboot. If you have the eql support com-
piled as a module then all you have to do is to remove the module after downing the interface.
Note that you have to connect to a terminal server capable of doing load balancing or another Linux box to use EQL.
EXAMPLES
# Client Side EQL Driver Initialization
ifconfig eql 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500
eql_enslave eql ppp0 33600
eql_enslave eql ppp1 14400
eql_enslave eql ppp2 28800

Hi all
I was just wondering what modes AIX supports for port trunking ( bonding, etherchannel, link aggregation or whatever you want to call it )
I'm in particular looking for a high availability mode ( other than 802.3ad ) (2 Replies)
Hi all,
I'm using an HP Proliant server with double NIC and Debian 5 (Lenny) as its OS. I used link bonding on it for several years with no problem.
Today, (now only one interface connected to switch) the interface went down. I restarted networking service (/etc/init.d/networking restart) and... (7 Replies)

I'm trying to find a page describing the L2, L3 und L4 modes of dladm.
It's nice to read "hashed by ip header", but how should I use that?
On the file-server it's ok to have the six interfaces serving six clients each on it's own. But an rsync connection via switch between two... (8 Replies)
All, I have a quad NIC on a V880 running Solaris 9. I've heard you can bond interfaces together and get better throughput. I found this link that seems to describe the process well. However, the command mentioned (dladm) is missing. Is there some package I need to install to get this command? Thx.... (2 Replies)

Hi team,
I'm running into a problem configuring bonding on an CentOS 64bit on DELL Server. I'm connecting eth0 and eth1

several different modes,... (3 Replies)
Hi,
I have created a bonding bond1 interface with 6 Eth , mode=4. Recently i have changed my old ipv6 to new one and tried to restart as well as reload network service.

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to configure bonding over bonded interface in AIX?
For example:
server has for NIC port:
ent0
ent1
ent2
ent3
First I create a EtherChannel ent4 from ent0 and ent1.
and then I create a EtherChannel ent5 from ent2 and ent3.
Can I create a EtherChannel... (1 Reply)
