To create multiple bonding devices with differing options, it

-is necessary to load the bonding driver multiple times. Note that

- To load multiple instances of the module, it is necessary to
|
|
|
-specify a different name for each instance (the module loading system
|
|
|
-requires that every loaded module, even multiple instances of the same
|
|
|
-module, have a unique name). This is accomplished by supplying
|
|
|
-multiple sets of bonding options in /etc/modprobe.conf, for example:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-alias bond0 bonding
|
|
|
-options bond0 -o bond0 mode=balance-rr miimon=100
|
|

-alias bond1 bonding
|

|
-options bond1 -o bond1 mode=balance-alb miimon=50
|
|

-

- will load the bonding module two times. The first instance is
|
|
|
-named "bond0" and creates the bond0 device in balance-rr mode with an
|
|
|
-miimon of 100. The second instance is named "bond1" and creates the
|
|
|
-bond1 device in balance-alb mode with an miimon of 50.
|
|

|
|
|
- In some circumstances (typically with older distributions),
|
|
|
-the above does not work, and the second bonding instance never sees
|
|
|
-its options. In that case, the second options line can be substituted
|
|
|
-as follows:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-install bond1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bonding -o bond1 \
|
|
|
- mode=balance-alb miimon=50
|
|
|
+is necessary to use bonding parameters exported by sysfs, documented
|
|
|
+in the section below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- This may be repeated any number of times, specifying a new and
|
|
|
-unique name in place of bond1 for each subsequent instance.
