any tool to help configure bonding?

[ESGLinux]

Hello,

I have tested your script and it worked like a charm,

but when I try to restart the network I get the next messages:

Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.2.4 (January 28, 2008)
bonding: In ALB mode you might experience client disconnections upon
reconnectio
n of a link if the bonding module updelay parameter (0 msec) is incompatible
with the forwarding delay time of the switch
bonding: MII link monitoring set to 1000 ms
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): bond0: link is not ready
bonding: bond0: Adding slave eth0.
eth0: link up
bonding: bond0: Error: dev_set_mac_address of dev eth0 failed! ALB mode
requires
that the base driver support setting the hw address also when the network
devic
e's interface is open
bonding: bond0: Adding slave eth1.
eth1: link up
bonding: bond0: Error: dev_set_mac_address of dev eth1 failed! ALB mode
requires that the base driver support setting the hw address also when the
network device's interface is open


If I run ifconfig I get the bond0 dev runing, but the network doesnt work at
all,

I think I´m doing something wrong but don´t not what

any idea?

thanks

ESG
