bonding

murfMan · 2011-02-28 23:13:10

attempting to set up bonding with a network card that i striped out of my moms old computer.

I have follwed the wiki page here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … rk#Bonding

but i am still having trouble so i thought i would ask here.
here is the output when i try to restart the network.

 sudo /etc/rc.d/network restart

Never seen that before.... Are you able to manually set up the bond with ifenslave?

murfMan · 2011-03-01 00:05:23

Affirmative. Is there a better way as opposed to ifenslave? I can see blinking lights on both of the cards. I will check the output of ifconfig when I get home. Is there a chance that this was auto configured and is already working?

murfMan · 2011-03-01 01:40:48

bump? i think it is a problem with ifenslave module not loading.

Edit* i don't even see eth1 ... here is my ifconfig

updated ifconfig.... i don't know why eth0 has an address. i can't tell if it is working properly.

murfMan · 2011-03-01 20:58:15

well i guess it is working because if you look at the received bytes:

(eth1) 4 190 341 + (eth0) 86 137 232 = (bond0) 100 327 573

but why does eth0 have an inet?

fukawi2 · 2011-03-02 03:11:44

Looks correct... The address on eth0 isn't from before you enabled bonding? You've rebooted? (or removed it manually?)

murfMan · 2011-03-02 05:49:02

I have rebooted and brought the network daemon up and down countless times. i have no idea why the address is showing up for eth0. how can i remove an address manually>?

fukawi2 · 2011-03-02 07:50:45

Weird...

ip a d 192.168.1.106/24 dev eth0

fukawi2 · 2011-03-02 07:52:07

Try changing rc.conf to:

INTERFACES=(bond0 !eth0 !eth1)

Are there any DHCP client processes running somehow?

murfMan · 2011-03-02 23:43:17

so weird.
when i do

INTERFACES=(bond0 !eth0 !eth1)

the address of eth0 goes away but as soon as i refresh a page eth0 gets reassigned the address

also

I'd say that's your problem... Find out what is starting dhcpcd and disable it.

murfMan · 2011-03-03 22:24:13

i have no idea why that was coming up but "sudo killall dhcpcd" did the trick.

I think its working now ... thanks!

Update :

scratch that... apparently now the network is up but i have no internet connection. i.e. i can ping my router but not www.google.com.

I don't have any internet access if eth0 doesn't have an address.

You've killed off the DHCP processes?

murfMan · 2011-03-05 07:39:12

if i kill the following process i don't have internet access but i can ping my router

root      1681  0.0  0.0   1952   584 ?        Ss   Mar03   0:00 /sbin/dhcpcd -q eth0

fukawi2 · 2011-03-06 06:25:14

It sounds like DHCP is removing your default route when you kill it.

Find out what is starting DHCP and disable it. Your rc.conf entry for 'gateway' should create your default route for you (on reboot or `/etc/rc.d/network restart`)

gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

murfMan · 2011-03-07 04:44:35

i tried rebooting and restarting the network daemon and i still am only able to ping the router... no internet.

if i put INTERFACES=(eth0) I can get internet access
but if i put INTERFACES=(bond0) i have no internet but i can ping my router. (this is after i killed dhcpcd)

if i kill dhcpcd ... eth0 has no inet. but i don't get internet
