NAME

       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

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
