| Port Bonding In OpenSuSE 11
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... 
Let me know what info you need (if any) and I will be happy to provide it. |

3 edits | OK. Now I'm stumped.
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. |

I gave up on CentOS, I got frustrated on getting my Software RAID back online so I re-reinstalled OpenSuSE 11.
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
Once I am doing watching Patlabor (which happens to be located on the server :D ) I'm going to give it a try again |
