4.1. Offloading TCP traffic over a bonded interface
To offload TCP traffic over a bonded interface, use the following method:
i. Load the network driver with TOE support:
[root@host]# modprobe t4_tom
ii. Create a bonded interface:
[root@host]# modprobe bonding mode=1 miimon=100
iii. Bring up the bonded interface and enslave the interfaces to the bond:
[root@host]# ifconfig bond0 up
[root@host]# ifenslave bond0 ethX ethY
iv. Assign IPv4/IPv6 address to the bonded interface:
[root@host]# ifconfig bond0 X.X.X.X/Y
All TCP traffic will be offloaded over the bonded interface now.
