arp_ip_target

IP address

Specifies the IP addresses to

None

Up to 16 IP addresses

 

 

use as ARP monitoring peers

 

(comma separated)

 

 

when arp_interval is > 0.

 

 

 

 

These are the targets of the

 

 

 

 

ARP request that are sent to

 

 

 

 

determine the health of the

 

 

 

 

link to the targets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

downdelay

milliseconds

Specifies the time to wait

0

32767

 

 

before disabling a slave after

 

 

 

 

a link failure has been

 

 

 

 

detected. This option is valid

 

 

 

 

only for the miimon link moni-

 

 

 

 

tor. The downdelay value

 

 

 

 

should be a multiple of the mii-

 

 

 

 

mon value; if not, it will be

 

 

 

 

rounded down to the nearest

 

 

 

 

multiple

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

updelay

milliseconds

Specifies the time to wait

0

32767

 

 

before enabling a slave after a

 

 

 

 

link recovery has been

 

 

 

 

detected. This option is valid

 

 

 

 

only for the miimon link moni-

 

 

 

 

tor. The updelay value should

 

 

 

 

be a multiple of the miimon

 

 

 

 

value; if not, it will be rounded

 

 

 

 

down to the nearest multiple.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

max_bonds

Integer

Specifies the number of bond-

1

NA

 

 

ing devices to create for this

 

 

 

 

instance of the bonding driver.

 

 

 

 

For example, if max_bonds is

 

 

 

 

3, and the bonding driver is

 

 

 

 

not already loaded, then

 

 

 

 

bond0, bond1 and bond2 are

 

 

 

 

created.
