Comments on How to configure failover and high availability network bonding on Linux
This tutorial explains how to configure network bonding on Linux server. Before I start, let me explain what network bonding is and what it does. In a Windows environment, network bonding is called network teaming, this is a feature that helps any server architecture to provide high availability and failover in scenarios were one of the main ethernet cable has a malfunction or is misconfigured.

Debian based OSes are a piece of cake
$ apt-get install ifenslave
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/ifenslave/README.Debian.gz
$ vi /etc/network/interfaces
## Relavent lines
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
.
.
.
bond_mode active-backup
bond_miimon 100
bond_downdelay 200
bond_updelay 200
bond_primary eth0
slaves eth0 eth1
$ systemctl restart networking
Can this bonding configuration also be used with multiple vlan interfaces?
For example:
ifcfg-eth0ifcfg-eth1
ifcfg-eth0.888ifcfg-eth1.888
Hi... Does this works with SuSE too? Because i tried with SLES11 and its failing.
Awesome example & instructions! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for documents .. Speciallly for test case ....
So, what are you connecting the other ends of the cables to? Probably worth a discussion, no?
