In the process though, I finally found the magical information I was looking for, and what I think was causing my issues.

I wrote a new script that I think will do the trick

#!/bin/bashmodprobe bonding mode=4 miimon=100 #Load the bonding module ifconfig eth0 down#Take down eth0ifconfig eth1 down#Take down eth1ifconfig eth2 down#Take down eth2ifconfig eth3 down#Take down eth3 ifconfig bond0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx#Set MAC address of bond0 interface to match eth3ifconfig bond0 192.168.0.102 up#Activating the bond0 interface ifenslave bond0 eth0#Put the eth0 interface in the slave mod for bond0ifenslave bond0 eth1#Put the eth1 interface in the slave mod for bond0ifenslave bond0 eth2#Put the eth2 interface in the slave mod for bond0ifenslave bond0 eth3#Put the eth3 interface in the slave mod for bond0
Once I am doing watching Patlabor (which happens to be located on the server :D ) I'm going to give it a try again

I have all 4 ports on my server bonded properly using the above code.

I was finally able to get access to my switch with the web based configuration manager. The 4 FastEthernet interfaces on the switch are now grouped together with destination based forwarding.

However, now I have no connectivity to the server. What am I missing?

UPDATE! Somehow in the process I managed to royally screw my network config on the server to the point that it all out refuses to work. Looks like it is time for a reinstall (so much easier when you have your important configs backed up) but I'm going to give CentOS a try.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21251865 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:38:37 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21251813 anon : modprobe bondingifconfig bond0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0ifconfig eth0 upifconfig eth1 upifconfig eth2 upifenslave bond0 eth0ifenslave bond0 eth1ifenslave bond0 eth2echo "The Internets is Serious Business"|wall]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21251813 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:20:45 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21251536 MaxCras : I'm having an issue figuring out how to bond my ethernet interfaces in OpenSuSE 11.

I started out by properly configuring my 1st interface with an IP address, and then set the remaining 3 with out an IP address with the "No address for bonding interfaces" setting.

I have been searching around, but all I have been able to find are peoples posts about fixing their broken bonds, but nothing on how to set them up in the first place.

I am running a 4 port link to my Catalyst 2924XL switch (which I am having a hard time configuring as well) so if someone could even help me kill 2 birds with one stone... :D

Let me know what info you need (if any) and I will be happy to provide it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21251536 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 15:48:19 EDT
