<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div>I have configured Ethernet Bonding for our RHEL 6.2 Servers. Bonding is working fine but few confusion for me when I configured MRTG to monitor the bonded interface. MRTG is showing MaxSpeed of the Bonded Interface to be 1250.0 KBytes/s which comes to be 10 Mbits/s . The MaxSpeed for the Slave interface speed (eth0,eth1) looks fine with 125.0 MBytes/s. My confusion here is since MRTG is showing MaxSpeed of the bonded interface to be 1250.0 KBytes/s , will it be able to handle traffic beyond 10MBits/s or it is MRTG configuration issue only? Also , would like to know when monitoring a bonded interface , is it OK to monitor the bonded interface only or need to monitor Slave interface also . Any best practises? Please find the bonding config pasted below. vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 DEVICE=bond0 ONBOOT=yes #TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.11.149 NETMASK=255.255.255.192 GATEWAY=192.168.11.130 USERCTL=no BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 miimon=100" cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none SLAVE=yes MASTER=bond0 #TYPE=Ethernet IPV6INIT=no USERCTL=no NM_CONTROLLED=no </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"> Please clarify . If any other information is required , please let me know. Thanks in Advance </div></div></body></html>
