Post by: |eric| on September 04, 2015, 08:09:00 PM

Hi

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 ]

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:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt

Quote

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or sysfs, the old ifenslave control utility is obsolete.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
