Step 4: Configuring the system parameters 7–13
Note that eth2 and eth3 are the only devices that can be bonded.
Example 7-5 Adding a bonded Gigabit Ethernet network
Configure Gigabit Ethernet Networks -------------------------------------------
This section is used to configure the Gigabit Ethernet networks, excluding
the Management Network. If configured on all servers, these networks can be
used as an interconnect to client systems. If not configured on all servers,
these networks are only configured on the Administration and MDS servers and
are used to connect to your site network. If you do not want to configure the
Gigabit Ethernet networks you can proceed to the next section.
Use the Add a Bonded Network device option if you want to add a bonded device.
Use the Delete a Bonded Network device option if you want to delete a bonded device.
Note: a network device is marked as Unused if a Start IP for the
network has not been entered. Once a Start IP is entered the device
is marked as Inuse.
1) eth1 Unused
2) eth2 Unused
3) eth3 Unused
4) Add a Bonded Network device
5) Delete a Bonded Network device

Add a Bonded Network device (bondN)
--------------------------------------------
This section is used to add a new Bonded Network device.
Two modes of bonding are supported: 802.3ad (default) and balance-alb.
If you are using 802.3ad mode you must configure your switch accordingly.
The current setting for bonding is mode=802.3ad.
You can change the bonding mode using the 'set attribute' command. For
example:
sfs> set attribute bonding_options="mode=balance-alb"
1) Type of network tcp
2) Slave devices None
3) Start IP None
4) Netmask 255.255.255.0
5) MTU 1500
6) Alias IP None
7) Configure the network device on all servers yes

Enter your choice [a]:
Valid network types are: tcp
The tcp value is valid for the following networks:
o Gigabit Ethernet
o Dual Gigabit Ethernet
o Bonded network
Note that component devices of a bonded network are automatically
assigned a network type of slave. This value should not be changed.
