RHCE - Part1 - Link aggregation: Bonding, teaming
Display existing connections:
# nmcli c s
Delete existing connections automatically created by NetworkManager:
# nmcli con del "Wired connection 1"
# nmcli con del "Wired connection 2"
# nmcli con del eth0
# nmcli con del eth1
BONDING
Create the bonding connection (here, mode 1 is active-backup):
# nmcli con add type bond ifname bond0 con-name bond0 mode 1
or
# nmcli con add type bond ifname bond0 con-name bond0 mode active-backup
Create the 2 slave connections, based on the interface name:
# nmcli con add type bond-slave ifname eth0 con-name eth0 master bond0
# nmcli con add type bond-slave ifname eth1 con-name eth1 master bond0
Configure bond0 connection:
# nmcli con mod bond0 ipv4.addresses "192.168.2.10/24 192.168.2.1" \
ipv4.dns 192.168.2.200 ipv4.method manual \
connection.autoconnect yes
# nmcli con up bond0
When bond0 is started, both slave interfaces are started too.
TEAMING
Create the teaming connection:
# nmcli con add type team ifname team0 con-name team0 config '{"runner": {"name": "activebackup"}}'
Create the slave connections:
# nmcli con add type team-slave ifname eth0 con-name eth0 master team0
# nmcli con add type team-slave ifname eth1 con-name eth1 master team0
Edit team0 connection:
# nmcli con mod team0 ipv4.addresses "192.168.2.20/24 192.168.2.1" ipv4.dns 192.168.2.200 ipv4.method manual connection.autoconnect yes
# nmcli con up eth0
# nmcli con up eth1
# nmcli con up team0
Before starting team0, make sure to start the slave interfaces.
