I figured I should post this because before I went to do it I searched the web for caveats etc and didn't really find much. So anyway, I set up bonding + vlan for a project. Computer is dell powerdge 350 with 2 intel 82559 10/100 nic running stock 2.4.20. I tried both the eepro100 and the e100 drivers for the nics, both work 802.1q and bonding are modules. Switch is cisco 2924xl-en running ios 12.0(5)XU. here is the bare bones of the script to bring things up on the computer (assumes nic drivers are loaded already) modprobe bonding ip link set bond0 up ip link set eth0 up ip link set eth1 up ifenslave bond0 eth0 ifenslave bond0 eth1 modprobe 8021q vconfig add bond0 5 ip link set bond0.5 up ip address add 10.0.5.1/24 dev bond0.5 vconfig add bond0 10 ip address add 10.0.10.1/24 dev bond0.10 ip link set bond0.10 up ANd here is the bare bones of the config for the switch interface FastEthernet0/1 port group 1 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk ! interface FastEthernet0/2 port group 1 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q switchport mode trunk ! interface FastEthernet0/5 switchport access vlan 5 ! interface FastEthernet0/10 switchport access vlan 10 ! and all works quite well going to be adding pppoe, advanced shaping, and freeswan into this too. the final result should be a pretty juicy network box :) - Ryan
