To create multiple bonding devices with differing options, it -is necessary to load the bonding driver multiple times. Note that -current versions of the sysconfig network initialization scripts -handle this automatically; if your distro uses these scripts, no -special action is needed. See the section Configuring Bonding -Devices, above, if you're not sure about your network initialization -scripts. - - To load multiple instances of the module, it is necessary to -specify a different name for each instance (the module loading system -requires that every loaded module, even multiple instances of the same -module, have a unique name). This is accomplished by supplying -multiple sets of bonding options in /etc/modprobe.conf, for example: - -alias bond0 bonding -options bond0 -o bond0 mode=balance-rr miimon=100 - -alias bond1 bonding -options bond1 -o bond1 mode=balance-alb miimon=50 - - will load the bonding module two times. The first instance is -named "bond0" and creates the bond0 device in balance-rr mode with an -miimon of 100. The second instance is named "bond1" and creates the -bond1 device in balance-alb mode with an miimon of 50. - - In some circumstances (typically with older distributions), -the above does not work, and the second bonding instance never sees -its options. In that case, the second options line can be substituted -as follows: - -install bond1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bonding -o bond1 \ - mode=balance-alb miimon=50 +is necessary to use bonding parameters exported by sysfs, documented +in the section below. - This may be repeated any number of times, specifying a new and -unique name in place of bond1 for each subsequent instance. 3.4 Configuring Bonding Manually via Sysfs ------------------------------------------ |
