Hello, I just setup a system with two hardware ethernet devices (eth0 and eth1) to share these devices in a bonding device. I use 'mode=0 miimon=100 downdelay=2000 updelay=200' as options to the bonding kernel module, and my /etc/network/interfaces contains the following:
auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static address 86.30.195.27 netmask 255.255.255.248 network 86.30.195.24 broadcast 86.30.195.31 gateway 86.30.195.25 up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth0 up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth1 that works so far, but now I want to add virtual devices to enable more ip addresses. i tried the following: auto bond0:0 iface bond0:0 inet static address 86.30.195.28 netmask 255.255.255.248 network 86.30.195.24 broadcast 86.30.195.31 gateway 86.30.195.25 'ifup bond0:0' bings up the device, and indeed it is even reachable via ping from outside. But after some extensive ping tests for all ips I discovered several packet losses at pinging the ips of the virtual devices. That seems to get better everytime I retry but still I'm concerned whether the way I configured my system is correct at all. Maybe virtual devices are not really supported for bonding devices, and maybe a better solution exists for adding more ip addresses to a bonding device. I'm looking forward to hear your opinions :-) greetings, jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
