climconfig.bondmode(1)
NAME
climconfig.bondmode -- change bonding mode, get bondmode info
SYNOPSIS
CLIMCMD {clim-name|ip-address} climconfig bondmode
-modify bonding-mode
CLIMCMD {clim-name|ip-address} climconfig bondmode
-info [-obeyform]
climconfig.bondmode Description
This command displays information about the bonding mode. The bonding mode applies to all
the bonding interfaces in the CLIM. Only one slave in the bond is active.
The supported bonding modes are:
mode=1 (active-backup)
Active-backup policy: Only one slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active
if, and only if, the active slave fails. The bond's MAC address is externally visible on only one
port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The
primary option, specified in the climconfig slave interface command, affects the behavior of
this mode.
mode=5 (balance-tlb)
Adaptive transmit load balancing: channel bonding that does not require any special switch
support. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to
the speed) on each slave. Incoming traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave
fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.
mode=6 (balance-alb)
Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive load balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic,
and does not require any special switch support. The receive load balancing is achieved by
ARP negotiation. The bonding driver intercepts the ARP Replies sent by the local system on
their way out and overwrites the source hardware address with the unique hardware address
of one of the slaves in the bond such that different peers use different hardware addresses for
the server.
A different slave becomes active if the active slave fails. The bond MAC address is externally
visible on only one network interface to avoid problems in the switch. This mode provides fault
tolerance.
Configuring the bonding mode applies to both bond interfaces, bond0 and bond1. Even if those
bonds are assigned to different providers on CLIMs with MULTIPROV ON, the bonding mode still
applies to both.
