took a couple months off due to road blocks, hoping a fresh look would allow me to use my server as desired. I have three ports, eth0-2 over two nics. I want to bond them, and then use a bridge to connect to virtual machines on the virtual host computer. Never having done this, I am confused on some parts. Here is where I am at now and any pointers helpful. Single server, centos 6.x My issue is do I add the ip address of the virtual host and where? Do I not add any of the ip addresses of the virtual machines? (thus they will be looked for via the bridge?) Each virtual machine will be getting its own ip address as it will be used for a website. here is the basic configuration I am looking at, with some things not added like hwaddress and a few tweaks (zeroconf?) am I even close? I admit I have never done this and have no mentor other than this exceptional mailing list. ============================ /etc/modprobe.conf alias bond0 bonding options bond0 mode=balance-alb miimon=100 ============================ ============================ bond0 DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=none BRIDGE=br0 ONBOOT=yes BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100 primary=eth0" ============================ ============================ br0 DEVICE=br0 TYPE=Bridge BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=<my virtual host IP address?> NETWORK=xxx.xx.xx.xxx BROADCAST=xxx.xx.xx.xx NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes GATEWAY=xx.xxx.xxx.xx ============================ I did not add the hwaddress to the items below. ======================================== eth0 DEVICE=eth0 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none eth1 DEVICE=eth0 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none eth2 DEVICE=eth0 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none ========================================= _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
