[Oisf-users] OT ubuntu interface bonding

[Russell Fulton]

Hi

Apologies for this of topic post.  I have asked on ubuntu forums and not had any responses.  I figure someone on this list probably has does this on a regular basis.


I need to bond two interfaces so I can feed the combined data to suri and argus.  I have done this a while back but now can’t make it work.

I don’t get any errors in the config but no packets ever appear on the bond0.

All the documentation I can find talks about the behaviour of transmitted packets not received one.  Clearly I am missing something.

here is current config:

auto eth2 
iface eth2 inet manual
      up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
      down ifconfig $IFACE down

auto eth3
iface eth3 inet manual
      up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
      down ifconfig $IFACE down
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
    # For jumbo frames, change mtu to 9000
    mtu 1500
    address 0.0.0.0
    bond-miimon 100 # Specifies the MII link monitoring frequency in milliseconds. This determines how often the link state of each slave is inspected for link failures. 
    bond-downdelay 200 # Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait before disabling a slave after a link failure has been detected.
    bond-updelay 200 # Specifies the time, in milliseconds, to wait before enabling a slave after a link recovery has been detected.
    bond-mode 0
    bond-slaves eth2 eth3

In particular I can’t figure out which bond-mode I should use.
