Implementing Channel Bonding (SUSE)
If you are using a Red Hat distribution, use the procedures described in the previous
section. The following applies only to the SUSE distributions.
First run yast/yast2 and configure Ethernet devices as DHCP so they create the
ifcfg-eth-id-<mac> files.
Next modify each of ifcfg-eth-id-<mac> files that you want to bond, they are
located in /etc/sysconfig/network, and change them from:
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
MTU=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='onboot'
UNIQUE='gZD2.ZqnB7JKTdX0'
_nm_name='bus-pci-0000:00:0b.0'
to:
BOOTPROTO='none'
STARTMODE='onboot'
UNIQUE='gZD2.ZqnB7JKTdX0'
_nm_name='bus-pci-0000:00:0b.0'
NOTE: Do not change the UNIQUE and _nm_name parameters. You can leave MTU
and REMOTE_IPADDR in the file as long as they are not set.
Next, in /etc/sysconfig/network, edit your ifcfg-bond0 file so it looks like
this:
BROADCAST='172.16.0.255'
BOOTPROTO='static'
IPADDR='172.16.0.1'
MTU=''
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NETWORK='172.16.0.0'
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='onboot'
BONDING_MASTER='yes'
BONDING_MODULE_OPTS='miimon=100 mode=1'
