NIC teaming error

[vincec]

Like to get some help. I am configuring NIC teaming on Linux and having some problem. I did the following:

1)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0

DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=192.168.1.20
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
USERCTL=no
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes

2)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none

3)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

DEVICE=eth1
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none

4)
/etc/modprobe.conf
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 mode=active-backup miimon=100

5)
load the bonding module
modprobe bonding

6)
Restart networking service
service network restart


However after I restart the network service, I have problem doing ping to other servers and from ping, there is many request time out.

According to /etc/modprobe.conf, I put it to active-backup. But when I using less /proc/net/bonding/bond0 to verify the teaming, it still show me Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin).

Is there any rpm I can use for teaming or any other setting I need to do?

Apperciate the help. Thanks a lot.

From the Linux NIC bonding doco:

The available bonding driver parameters are listed below. If a parameter is not specified the default value is used. When initially configuring a bond, it is recommended "tail -f /var/log/messages" be run in a separate window to watch for bonding driver error messages.

Take a look at /var/log/messages for any errors. Also, double check that your config is correct (for your Linux distro) and try specifying the mode on the command line when you load the bonding module.
