I'm running into a problem configuring bonding on an CentOS 64bit on DELL Server. I'm connecting eth0 and eth1
to a Cisco 2948 (CatOS 8.1(3)) and receiving flapping notices. The
ethernet address is that of the primary interface. I have tried
several different modes, including balance-rr (0), active-backup (1),
and balance-alb (6). All have the same problem. More detailed info
follows..

Got this by googling:
If you are using the load balancing channel bonding, your router may complaint that the MAC address is flip flopping because the same MAC address is appearing in two different links.
If the use of load balancing is purely for redundancy, consider using active standby mode (mode=1). If not, most likely you have to work on your router configuration.
I have tried doing this already, using mode=1 and the rest modes, but still have the same flapping in the switches that I have, I have no idea if there any other options in the Linux Server box should I stick with! Thanks anyway..
Respected Members,
We encountered an issue during node reboot when eth1 and eth5 of bond1 were behaving unusual(both eth1 and eth5 were in unknown states and ifdown and ifup were used to rectify). Please find the messages and configuration files as below and please let me know for any other... (0 Replies)

After configuring , we restarted the network services , the link was down after that , we could not login in to the Server.

Does anyone know if it's possible to bond two bonds together? My situation is I have two older Cisco switches that cannot carry a LACP (bond level 4) aggregated between them, but separate aggregates can be setup on the switches themselves. In order to have redundancy of two switches I would... (0 Replies)
