Cant find ifenslave ( for bond interfaces)
« on: September 04, 2015, 05:09:00 PM »
Hi
i was looking to put my 2 interfaces ( maybe even the wifi interface ?)  im using Core  (6.x).
looks like the bonding module is there but ifenslave is nowhere to be found
tried with tce-ab to install but its not available aparently .

was wondering if someone had set this up .

trying to acheive somthing like this :

bond0->dhcp [w/fixed mac add ]
slaves ->
 eth0
 eth1
 wifi0 (?... dont remember the name)



ps: the verification crap is really anoying....

Hi

Until you get a better reply, I have a tower and one network card, but this link may help?
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt

the section that may be useful is

Configuring Bonding Manually via Sysfs

snip

Ifenslave is no longer required, though it is still supported.

good luck

As per:

It is recommended to configure bonding via iproute2 (netlink)
or sysfs, the old ifenslave control utility is obsolete.

debian does a shell script version of ifenslave in ifenslave_2.7.tar.xz
