\n\tHello,\n<\/p>\n
\n\twith NIC Bonding or Port Trunking you can provide higher throughput and redundency to your network cards. Basically it bonds two, let's say 1Gb network cards, to one 2Gb card. Bonding can be achieved with more than 2 cards in a system.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tThere are several modes:\n<\/p>\n
\n\tMode 0 (round-robin – load balancing\/fault tolerence):<\/strong> \n\tMode 1 (active backup – fault tolerence):<\/strong> \n\tMode 2 (balance-xor – load balancing\/fault tolerence – Static Link Aggregation):<\/strong> \n\tMode 3 (broadcast – fault tolerence):<\/strong> \n\tMode 4 (802.3ad – Dynamic Link Aggregation, LACP):<\/strong> \n\tMode 5 (balance-tlb – load balancing):<\/strong> \n\tMode 6 (balance-alb – load balancing):<\/strong> \n\tNow after shortly explaining all modes here how to create such a bond:\n<\/p>\n \n\tNow you should only need to restart your server. If you can't restart it please load the bond kernel module and restart your network:\n<\/p>\n \n\t# modprobe bonding Hello, with NIC Bonding or Port Trunking you can provide higher throughput and redundency to your network cards.

\n\tThis is the default mode and sends packets from the first to the last slave. 1st packet -> 1st NIC, 2nd packet -> 2nd NIC, 3rd packet -> 1st NIC etc…\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn this mode only 1 card\/slave is active at the moment. Another takes over as soon as the other goes down. Only the MAC address of the bond is visible on the outside.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn this mode every destination gets the packets from the same source address based on MAC addresses.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn this mode all packets go out on every interface. Incoming traffic is not affected.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn this mode there is a group created wth the same speed an duplex possibilities according to IEEE 802.3ad. There are some prerequisites fot this: Ethtool support in drivers to get speed and duplex of each slave and a switch which supports 802.3ad.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn this mode the outgoing packets are distributed over all slaves, but only the active slaves receives packets. If this goes down another slave takes over.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn this mode all outgoing and incoming traffic in distributed over all salves.\n<\/p>\n\n
