Thanks, I will read over the document. -----Original Message----- From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sam Wilson Sent: Monday, 12 November, 2012 9:17 AM To: linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Packet loss after configuring Ethernet bonding With regards to what switch support is required for GNU\linux bonding its worth having a read through the docs http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt to understand the available modes in the bonding driver. As far as I understand it only mode=4 requires switch side participation in the bonding. All other modes are implemented on the host side.
