Figure 3-17 Bonded Network Interfaces
The LANs in the non-bonded configuration have four LAN cards, each associated with
a separate non-aggregated IP address and MAC address, and each with its own LAN
name (eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4). When these ports are aggregated, all four ports are
associated with a single IP address and MAC address. In this example, the aggregated
ports are collectively known as bond0, and this is the name by which the bond is known
during cluster configuration.
Figure 3-18 shows a bonded configuration using redundant hubs with a crossover
cable.
