3. Determine if the MAC address is present in the ifcfg files. If not, obtain the MAC address
and append it to each eth port:
a. Execute the ip ad command to obtain the MAC address of all eth ports.
b. Add the MAC address to the ifcfg-ethx file of each slave eth port. The following is
an example of the MAC address:
HWADDR=68:B5:99:B3:11:88
c. Ensure that the ONBOOT parameter is set to "no" (ONBOOT=no) in the ifcfg-ethx file
of each eth port.
4. Add the bond alias to the end of the contents of the modprobe.conf file, located at /etc/
modprobe.conf, by entering the following commands:
alias bond0 bonding
alias bond1 bonding
5. Set the host name and modify the /etc/hosts file:
a. Run the following command to set the host name:
hostname r150b16
In this instance, r150b16 is the host name.
b. Edit the HOSTNAME parameter in the /etc/sysconfig/network file with the host
name value (required for persistence):
HOSTNAME="r150s16"
c. Add the host name to the /etc/hosts file:
172.16.3.16
In this instance, r150b16 is the host name.
6. Start the bonding by running the service network restart command.
7. To verify that the bonds are up, execute the ifconfig command. The bond0 and bond1
interfaces should be listed.
r150b16
