This procedure did not actually change very much from RHEL 5.0. Knowing the changes however are pretty critical to getting it right.<\/p>\n
Gone is the Administrator’s friend and potential cestpool, \/etc\/modpprobe.conf<\/p>\n
Its replaced by anything you want to load in \/etc\/modprobe.d<\/p>\n
Naming guidelines? Who needs them. Name the file anything you want.<\/p>\n
Procedure: Still pretty darned easy.<\/p>\n
Pre-requisite: You need two network connections to the same network subnet. Unlike HP-UX APA (Auto port aggregation) you don’t normally need special switch configuration. Though it is possible for Cisco switches to mess this up.<\/p>\n
I’m recommending use of a standard naming convention in your shop. I, in a fit of creativity have chosen the name, bonding.conf<\/p>\n
All you do is rip the bonding configuration you used from modeprobe.conf on RHEL 5 and put it in the fil:<\/p>\n
\/etc\/modprobe.d\/bonding.conf<\/strong><\/span> This system has two Intel 1 GB cards in it, plugged into the same network and subnet.<\/p>\n [root@viper ~]# cat \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-eth0<\/span><\/strong> [root@viper ~]# cat \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-eth1<\/span><\/strong> Now the all critical bond0 configuration which has not changed.<\/p>\n [root@viper ~]# cat \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/ifcfg-bond0<\/strong> GATEWAY=192.168.0.1<\/strong><\/p>\n BROADCAST=192.168.0.255<\/strong> To implement:<\/p>\n \/sbin\/service network restart<\/strong><\/p>\n [root@viper ~]# service network restart<\/strong> One little warning. Red Has put a little tool in the OS called Network manager. It thinks it owns the network configuration.<\/p>\n If you for example copy in the configuration from another system with the intent of changing the IP address on a new one, be quick about it. Copy in ifcfg-bond0 without ifcfg-eth0\/1 and you lose network access to the system.<\/p>\n It is highly recommended you do this with some form of console access.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This procedure did not actually change very much from RHEL 5.0.
