Hi
The two switches need to be aware that the interfaces is bonded.
Normally there is a thick cable running between the swithces. Config
will differ from manufacture to manufacturer.

I have copied settings from a kickstart file that is used to setup
bonding, specifically failover bonding.

#EXTRA_CONFIG_ETH_BONDING

# convert ethernet interfaces to bonded setup
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /root/ifcfg-eth0old
cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 /root/ifcfg-eth1old
cp /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.old
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 |sed -e 's/eth0/bond0/' -e
's/HWADDR/#HWADDR/' > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0

cat >/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0<<EOF
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
SLAVE=yes
MASTER=bond0
EOF

cat >/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1<<EOF
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
SLAVE=yes
MASTER=bond0
EOF

cat >>/etc/modprobe.conf<<EOF
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 mode=1 primary=eth0 miimon=100
EOF

Regards
