Bonding & Trunking

Small example how you can use bonding (several network cards together) and trunking (several VLAN’s together) on a linux server.

Be carefull that the switchside (network) is also properly configured. You need to choose between an access vlan or a trunk vlan.

Physical Interface

First, define the physcial interface, and for which ‘bond’-group they’ll use…

cat ifcfg-eth0 & cat ifcfg-eth7

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=A0:B1:C2:D3:E4:F5
TYPE=Ethernet
SLAVE=yes
MASTER=bond0
HOTPLUG=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
PEERDNS=no

DEVICE=eth7
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=A0:B1:C2:D3:E4:F6
TYPE=Ethernet
SLAVE=yes
MASTER=bond0
HOTPLUG=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
PEERDNS=no

Bonding

Define the group for the physical interfaces.
cat ifcfg-bond0

DEVICE=bond0
ONBOOT=yes
BONDING_OPTS="mode=4 miimon=100"
BOOTPROTO=none

Trunking

Create the different VLAN that will be present in the bond. Be sure that the VLAN-ID’s are corresponding with the VLAN-ID’s on switch level.
cat ifcfg-bond0.111 & cat ifcfg-bond0.112

DEVICE=bond0.111
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.10.111.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
VLAN=yes
ONPARENT=yes

DEVICE=bond0.112
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.10.112.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
VLAN=yes
ONPARENT=yes
