sudo apt-get install ifenslave
Then we need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface #auto eth0 #iface eth0 inet dhcp # This section works for 10.04 #auto bond0 #iface bond0 inet static #address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx #bond-slaves eth0 eth1 # LACP confuration #bond_mode 802.3ad #bond_miimon 100 #bond_lacp_rate 1 # This section works for 12.04 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual bond-master bond0 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual bond-master bond0 auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # LACP confuration bond-mode 802.3ad bond-miimon 100 bond-lacp_rate 1 bond-slaves none*NOTE* If you only have 2 NIC's and want them bonded comment out your eth0 lines
Next update your resolv.conf so you have DNS; edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
sudo nano /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx search domain.name
Restart network services
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
*NOTE* Here is info about different bonding modes:
mode=0 (balance-rr) Round-robin policy: Transmit packets in sequential order from the first available slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
mode=1 (active-backup) Active-backup policy: Only one slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. The bond’s MAC address is externally visible on only one port (network adapter) to avoid confusing the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The primary option affects the behavior of this mode.
mode=2 (balance-xor) XOR policy: Transmit based on [(source MAC address XOR'd with destination MAC address) modulo slave count]. This selects the same slave for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.
mode=3 (broadcast) Broadcast policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.
mode=4 (802.3ad) IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation. Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.
* Pre-requisites:
* Ethtool support in the base drivers for retrieving the speed and duplex of each slave.
* A switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation. Most switches will require some type of configuration to enable 802.3ad mode.
mode=5 (balance-tlb) Adaptive transmit load balancing: channel bonding that does not require any special switch support. The outgoing traffic is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each slave. Incoming traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.
* Prerequisite: Ethtool support in the base drivers for retrieving the speed of each slave.
mode=6 (balance-alb) Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive load balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic, and does not require any special switch support. The receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. The bonding driver intercepts the ARP Replies sent by the local system on their way out and overwrites the source hardware address with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bond such that different peers use different hardware addresses for the server.
