Re: Bonding modes

Thanks nate.

Right now I am not concerned with the load balancing. I have few cluster nodes and if I run mode1 , then  the failover time may lead to cluster timeout. I have not tested it yet but I will do it. So if the failover time from active to backup is very small and in miliseconds my cluster can afford that and I will stick with mode 0. Is there a way to change this time/durartion ?
Thanks
Paras.

I have a NFS cluster running mode 6 with two systems, it works ok,
been running for a bit over a year now. Each system has 4 NICs, and
4 IPs(load balancing done mostly via round robin DNS).

The systems run CentOS 4.x, they are basically appliances everything
comes pre-configured by the vendor.

So I can say it can work, and does work when properly configured,
though I would not use it myself. The vendor has since moved away
from this and is going with 802.3ad for better standards compliance.
