Hi,

I cannot help with the VLAN part, but on the Linux side add the bond0 entry in /etc/modprobe.conf

alias bond0 bonding
options bonding max_bonds=1 miimon=100 mode=1

Then create a network entry in /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts for ifcfg-bond0 as your NIC card. For example:

DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=192.168.168.152
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no

And then use the MASTER and SLAVE lines in the ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1... network scripts to refer to the bond0 device:

DEVICE=eth0 (or eth1)
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=00:18:8B:41:8F:DF
TYPE=Ethernet
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes

Check the different bonding modes with "modinfo bonding".

Subject: Linux Ethernet bonding and VLANs

Hi,

How do you setup Linux Ethernet bonding and VLANs at the same time?

We'd like to do so on some Dell PowerEdge 1950 systems with the
dual-port integrated Broadcom NIC, the servers will be running RHEL4
or RHEL5.

Any info or pointers to online resources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
