linux 网卡 switch hardware,Linux 网卡绑定技术

Finally, today I had implemented NIC bounding (bind both NIC so that it works as a single device). Bonding is nothing but Linux kernel feature that allows to aggregate multiple like interfaces (such as eth0, eth1) into a single virtual link such as bond0. The idea is pretty simple get higher data rates and as well as link failover. The following instructions were tested on:RHEL v4 / 5 / 6 amd64

CentOS v5 / 6 amd64

Fedora Linux 13 amd64 and up.

2 x PCI-e Gigabit Ethernet NICs with Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000)

Hardware RAID-10 w/ SAS 15k enterprise grade hard disks.

Gigabit switch with Jumbo Frame

Say Hello To bounding DriverThis server act as an heavy duty ftp, and nfs file server. Each, night a perl script will transfer lots of data from this box to a backup server. Therefore, the network would be setup on a switch using dual network cards. I am using Red Hat enterprise Linux version 4.0. But, the inductions should work on RHEL 5 and 6 too.

Linux allows binding of multiple network interfaces into a single channel/NIC using special kernel module called bonding. According to official bonding documentation:The Linux bonding driver provides a method for aggregating multiple network interfaces into a single logical "bonded" interface. The behavior of the bonded interfaces depends upon the mode; generally speaking, modes provide either hot standby or load balancing services. Additionally, link integrity monitoring may be performed.Step #1: Create a Bond0 Configuration File

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (and its clone such as CentOS) stores network configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory. First, you need to create a bond0 config file as follows:

# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0

Append the following linest:
