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 Please clarify . If any other information is required , please let me know. Thanks in Advance -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
