Ethernet bonding

[grembling22@charter.net]

Ok, so after reading through hundreds of online posts I am left with a partially working configuration. I am tryin to shotgun 2 ethernet cards. So far this is what I have done. I have edited /ect/rc.d/rc.local and added these lines.

modprobe bonding
ip addr add 192.168.1.10/24 brd + dev bond0
ip link set dev bond0 up
ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1

This configuration works, but because I have not specifyed the gateway or DNS servers i cannot access the internet from the machine. My question is using the method I have used, how do i specify the DNS and gateway ip settings. Any help on this frustrating matter would be greatly appriciated~!

Try adding:

route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev bond0

to /ect/rc.d/rc.local.
and

nameserver 192.168.1.1

to /etc/resolv.conf (if 192.168.1.1 is the dns server)

hi. I tried adding:

route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev bond0

It still does not work. /ect/resolve.conf already contains:
nameserver 192.168.1.1


I appriciate the input, any help would be awsome.... im about to throw the server in traffic

Or..... which would be ideal, is there anyway instead of specifying a static IP i can specify it to dhcp?

ok, try this manually in terminal:

/sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1

if it works, add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and reboot the machine and see if it still works then.

If it does not work, could you describe your network (ip addresses of DNS and gateway you use to connect to the internet without bonding)?

Hey I did that and it WORKED! Thanks man.. I just had to add dev bond0 to the code u gave me and everything works... I really appriciate it!

[pavlo_7]

hey, no problem. I'm glad it works!

[grembling22@charter.net]

is there anyway to specify dns to that?

[pavlo_7]

the dns is specified in /etc/resolv.conf .
you can change it there. I don't know any other way.
