Hi, Sorry if this posts twice (first posting seems stuck awaiting admin approval). I am looking at binding 64 IP addresses to a Redhat 5 server with dual NIC's. I have followed this guide: http://www.xenocafe.com/tutorials/linux/redhat/bind_multiple_ip_addresses_to_single_nic/index.phpand am able to successfully bind the IP's to the eth0 and eth1, however I would like to be able to bind them to my bonded interface bond0 to ensure redundancy. My bond0 is as follows: # bonded interface for production DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BONDING_OPTS="mode=4 miimon=10" When I create a bond0:0 containing one of the additional IP's like this: DEVICE=bond0:0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.1.2 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 and restart networking the interface does not come up. Manually attempting to bring the interface up with if config gives me the following error: ifconfig bond0:0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address bond0 itself is completely working, however I just can't seem to add the additional aliases with my extra IP addresses. Does anyone know if what I am trying to do is supported, and if it is, where I am going wrong? I have googled this extensively today and have not found anything that explains if this is actually possible, or how to do it, so any ideas are very welcome!
