ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:14:C2:C0:44:C5
4. Edit the ifcfg-ethN file to contain the following content. Remove existing entries, if any,
except for “DEVICE” and “HWADDR”. Make sure that the HWADDR field matches the
specific MAC address for the card, do not use the value listed here. Here is an example for
ifcfg-eth3:
DEVICE=eth3
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:14:C2:C0:44:C4
5. Edit /etc/modprobe.conf to add the following 2 lines (the second and third lines shown here
should be input as one line):
alias bond0 bonding
install bond0 /sbin/modprobe tg3; /sbin/modprobe e1000;
/sbin/modprobe –-ignore-install bonding –o bond0
6. Restart the network from console:
/etc/init.d/network restart
NOTE: You may see an error while shutting down bond0, since it previously didn’t exist.
For example:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-eth: line 101:
/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves: No such file or
directory
7. To verify the bond configuration, check the /proc/net/bonding/bond0 file. This listing
shows two slave interfaces with eth2 as the currently active slave.

Identify Free Port for DSAU Consolidated Logging
Before configuring the consolidated log package, you should choose an available TCP port. Any
port that is not in use can be selected, but HP recommends that you choose a port from the reserved
range of ports below 1024. These steps are required only if configuring the DSAU consolidated
logging package, clog.
