NOTE You may want to put the above commands into an rc script and have them executed
at boot time so that the bonding driver is always enabled.
NOTE If you intend to acquire the IP address for bond0 by using DHCP, the physical MAC
address that is presented to the DHCP server is the address of the first enslaved
physical network interface (eth0 in this example).
Step 2. When you have finished creating bond0, issue the ifconfig command on the Server Blade. This
will show the following network interfaces:
bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:A5:55:0C:44
inet addr:10.35.50.xx Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:59724 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:684 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:A5:55:0C:44
UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:30170 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:389 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:3676981 (3.5 MiB) TX bytes:56878 (55.5 KiB)
Base address:0xac00 Memory:f6ae0000-f6b00000
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:A5:55:0C:44
UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:29554 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:295 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:3603849 (3.4 MiB) TX bytes:42348 (41.3 KiB)
Base address:0xa800 Memory:f6ac0000-f6ae0000
Because the logical network interface defined by bond0 contains links to both of the Ethernet
Switch Blades, a failure of either Switch Blade allows the bond0 interface to continue operating
through the surviving Switch Blade.
