There is preferred way of bonding using ifcfg- files.
But I prefer following method as it is very easy to setup.
Here I am using 192.168.3.2 for the bond0.
eth0 & eth1 are used for bonding.
We’ll enter following lines in /etc/rc.local
modprobe bonding mode=balance-rr miimon=100 ifconfig bond0 192.168.3.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up ifenslave bond0 eth0 ifenslave bond0 eth1 route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.3.1
To verify bonding
cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.4.0 (October 7, 2008) Bonding Mode: load balancing (round-robin) MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:19:5b:fd:0f:e7 Slave Interface: eth1 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 0 Permanent HW addr: 00:16:76:d2:c7:8d
