Hi, I want to bond together 2 NIC's that I have(or channel them; Something that can give me 400meg of aggregate bandwidth). So, I have 2 NIC's, 2 Cisco Catalyst 6509 switches. My kenrel: 2.2.14, standard RH 6.2 build. Now, I tried my hand on 'bonding' these NIC's together, but this requires two switches, and also they need to be 'unmanaged' switches, as the bonding method doesnt work correctly. I get my bond0 interface up, and my eth0 and eth1 show up also, with the same MAC address, but I lose 50% of my packets..So, this is a no-go. So, I plan on setting up a fast etherchannel trunk on my Catalyst for this, but what do I need to do on the Linux side? This is where I am running into problems. I would like to have 2 NIC's in a server going directly into the same switch and doing etherchannel. Im at a loss on what to do on the Linux side. Thanks. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
