Configuring Your Network 11
3 In the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory, create or edit the
ifcfg-bond0 configuration file.
For example, using sample network parameters, the file appears as:
DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
BONDING_OPTS="mode=6 miimon=100 max_bonds=2"
BOOTPROTO=none
DEVICE=bondn is the name required for the bond, where n specifies the
bond number. IPADDR is the private IP address.
To use
bond0 as a virtual device, you must specify the devices that are
bonded as slaves.
4 For each device that is a bond member:
a In the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ , edit the
ifcfg-ethn file:
DEVICE=ethn
HWADDR=<MAC ADDRESS>
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
b Ty p e service network restart and ignore all warnings.
5 On each node , type ifconfig to verify that the private interface is
functioning.
The private IP address for the node must be assigned to the private
interface
bond0 .
6 After all the private IP addresses are set up on every node, ping each
IP address from one node to ensure that the private network
is functioning.
7 Connect to each node. Verify that the private network and the Secure
Shell (
ssh ) are functioning correctly by typing:
ssh <private IP>
