Example 1 - Output for Bond Operating Mode "Round Robin"
[Expert@MyGaia:0]# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.2.4 (January 28, 2008) Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin) MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 200 Down Delay (ms): 200 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:50:56:a3:73:69 Slave Interface: eth3 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:50:56:a3:73:70 [Expert@MyGaia:0]# |
|
|
Note - Scalable Platforms (ElasticXL, Maestro, and Chassis) do not support this feature (Known Limitation MBS-4080). |
Example 2 - Output for Bond Operating Mode "Active-Backup"
[Expert@MyGaia:0]# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.2.4 (January 28, 2008) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: eth2 Currently Active Slave: eth2 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 200 Down Delay (ms): 200 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:50:56:a3:73:69 Slave Interface: eth3 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:50:56:a3:73:70 [Expert@MyGaia:0]# |
Example 3 - Output for Bond Operating Mode "XOR"
[Expert@MyGaia:0]# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.2.4 (January 28, 2008) Bonding Mode: load balancing (xor) Transmit Hash Policy: layer2 (0) MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 200 Down Delay (ms): 200 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:50:56:a3:73:69 Slave Interface: eth3 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:50:56:a3:73:70 [Expert@MyGaia:0]# |
Example 4 - Output for Bond Operating Mode "802.3ad" (LACP)
[Expert@MyGaia:0]# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.2.4 (January 28, 2008) Bonding Mode: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation Transmit Hash Policy: layer2 (0) MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 200 Down Delay (ms): 200 802.3ad info LACP rate: slow Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:50:56:a3:73:69 Aggregator ID: 1 Slave Interface: eth3 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:50:56:a3:73:70 Aggregator ID: 1 [Expert@MyGaia:0]# |
