What distro are you using? There are a few ways to configure bonding under Debian, the OS I use. Here are a couple: cat /etc/network/interfaces auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static address 131.212.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 131.212.100.0 broadcast 131.212.100.255 gateway 131.212.100.254 pre-up echo balance-rr > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode up echo 100 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon up echo 200 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/downdelay up echo 200 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/updelay up echo +eth0 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves up echo +eth1 > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves or sudo aptitude install ifenslave-2.6 cat /etc/network/interfaces auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static address 131.212.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 131.212.100.0 broadcast 131.212.100.255 gateway 131.212.100.254 slaves eth0 eth1 bond_mode active-backup bond_miimon 100 bond_downdelay 200 bond_updelay 200 bond_primary eth0 You can also check out Documentation/networking/bonding.txt in your kernel source tree. You may need to echo bonding >> /etc/modules to get it to survive a reboot. -- Matt Zagrabelny - mzagrabe@xxxxxxxxx - (218) 726 8844 University of Minnesota Duluth Information Technology Systems & Services PGP key 4096R/42A00942 2009-12-16 Fingerprint: 5814 2CCE 2383 2991 83FF C899 07E2 BFA8 42A0 0942 He is not a fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. -Jim Elliot
