It is actually very simple: Create a new file called ifcfg-bond0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ with the following data inside: DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=Your ip here NETMASK=Your netmask here In the interface that you want as part of the bond edit the appropriate file. For example ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth2 which can also be found in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ You should edit out the ip address and netmask. Make sure the bootproto is none, keep the hardware address, add slave=yes and add master=bond0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none HWADDR=AA:AA:C4:BE:AA:AA ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet SLAVE=yes MASTER=bond0 Lastly edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add the following lines: alias bond0 bonding options bond0 mode=active-backup primary=eth0 miimon=5 the miimon for our use is very low and you might want to make it a bit higher Also read: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/linux-2.4/Document ation/networking/bonding.txt look for the documentation on this page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bonding/ Regards > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list- > bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Aggarwal Vivek-Q4997C > Sent: 27 March 2008 09:47 > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: NIC Teaming > > > > > > Hi > > > > Can anybody help me providing the configuration of NIC Teaming.
