Greetings..!!
I have eth0 and eth1 bonded together as bond0 -- Works good, everything
is fine, redundancy is good etc.
I created an alias bond0:0 and assigned another IP in the same subnet to
it. This new IP is now pingable from other systems, other subnets etc.
Okay, here it gets interesting:
Traceroutes to any hosts from bond0 succeeds, but traceroutes using
bond0:0 fails.
[root at linux1 root]# traceroute linux12 -i bond0
traceroute to linux12 (A.B.C.D), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
1 linux12 (A.B.C.D) 0.067 ms 0.029 ms 0.019 ms
[root at linux1 root]# traceroute linux12 -i bond0:0
setsockopt: No such device
unable to bind to device: bond0:0
Any ideas on why I cannot traceroute using bond0:0? (BTW, if it were on
a non_bonded interface, say, eth0:0, it works.).
Thanks in advance,
