Configuring Link Aggregation in a Linux Environment
This section explains how to configure link aggregation in a Linux environment.
▼To Configure Bonding for Multiple nxge Interfaces
1.Modify the /etc/modprobe.conf file for 2.6 kernels file by adding these lines:
alias bond0 bonding
options bonding max_bonds=2 mode=4 miimon=1000
where:
■bond0 is the bonding device.
■max_bonds is the number of bond interfaces to be created.
■mode specifies the bonding policies.
■miimon is the frequency in milliseconds that MII link monitoring will occur. Refer to Linux documentation for more information.
2.Load the bonding driver:
#modprobe bonding
3.Configure bond0 interface.
In this example, bond0 is the master of the two interfaces eth4 and eth5.
#ip addr add 192.12.38.64/24 brd + dev bond0
#ip link set dev bond0 up
#ifenslave bond0 eth4 eth5
