IFCFG-BONDING(5)             Network configuration            IFCFG-BONDING(5)



NAME
       ifcfg-bonding - interface bonding configuration

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bond*



Bonding Interfaces
       To  setup  a  bonding  interface  you  need a configuration file ifcfg-
       bond<X> with the usual network settings. But you  must  add  additional
       variables

       BONDING_MASTER
              must  be  set  to  'yes' to identify this interface as a bonding
              interface

       BONDING_SLAVE_<X>
              here you specify the slave network devices. It may contain  just
              an interface name or any valid hardware description if interface
              names are not persistent.  See man ifup for details about  hard-
              ware  descriptions. The suffix <X> must only contain numbers and
              characters.

       BONDING_OPTS
              contains additional options for ifenslave, this one is  optional
              and  not  important  for  most cases. For additional information
              take a look into the documentation mentioned at  the  bottom  of
              this section.

       BONDING_MODULE_OPTS
              contains  additional  options for the bonding kernel modul. Here
              you can set interface timeouts or working  modes  ('mode=1'  for
              backup  mode).  For  additional information take a look into the
              documentation mentioned at the bottom.



Example
       Example for a bonding device on eth0 and eth1 using the backup mode

       ifcfg-bond0
          STARTMODE='onboot'
          BOOTPROTO='static'
          IPADDR='192.168.0.1/24'

          BONDING_MASTER='yes'
          BONDING_SLAVE_0='bus-pci-0000:00:11.0'  # you can use eth0 here, too
          BONDING_SLAVE_1='bus-pci-0000:00:12.0'  # or eth1
          BONDING_MODULE_OPTS='mode=1'            # backup mode


Additional Information
       For  additional  and  more  general  information  take  a   look   into
       /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.  Maybe you need to
       install the kernel sources to get this additional documentation.

       The configuration of routes for this kind of interface does not  differ
       from ordinary interfaces. See man routes for details.
