Q-Logic 3000, 3100 manual Round-Robin or Mode=0, ========== down state

9–Linux Configuration for Bonding Mode and Virtual LAN (VLAN) Linux Bonding Mode

The output for this command is:

MII Status: up (for eth15)

Round-Robin or Mode=0

This mode implements a round-robin scheme between the two Ethernet ports. To set the round-robin mode, type the following command:

% modprobe bonding mode=0 miimon=100 updelay=50000 primary=eth16

After the command is executed, both links delay for 50 seconds before their states are set to BOND_LINK_UP.

Type the following command to check the status of the bonding process:

%cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0

The output for this command is:

Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.0.1

Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin) MII Status: up MII

Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 50000 Down Delay (ms): 0

After 50 seconds, type the command again to verify the MII status of the Ethernet ports:

% cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0
