5. Set the mode:
(config network bond eth_bond)> mode value
(config network bond eth_bond)>
where value is either:
n
active-backup: Transmits data on only one of the bonded devices at a time. When the
active device fails, the next available device in the list is chosen. This mode provides for
fault tolerance.
n
round-robin: Alternates between bonded devices to provide load balancing as well as
fault tolerance.
6. Add Ethernet devices:
a. Use the ?to determine available devices:
(config network bond eth_bond)> ... network device ?
Additional Configuration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
loopback
(config network bond eth_bond)>
b. Add a device:
(config network bond eth_bond)> add device /network/device/
(config network bond eth_bond)>
c. Repeat to add additional devices.
7. Create a new network interface that is linked to the Ethernet bond:
a. Type ... to return to the root of the configuration:
(config network bond eth_bond)> ...
(config)>
b. Create a new interface, for example:
(config)> add network interface eth_bond_interface
(config network interface eth_bond_interface)>
c. For device, select the Ethernet bond created above:
(config network interface eth_bonding_interface)> device /network/bond/eth_bond
(config network interface eth_bonding_interface)>
d. Complete the rest of the interface configuration. See
or
Configure a Local Area Network (LAN)
8. Disable any other interfaces associated with the devices that were added to the Ethernet bond.
For example, if ETH1 and ETH2 were added to the Ethernet bond, and they are included with
the ETH1 and ETH2 interfaces:
