Ethernet Bonding Help (Solved)

Update, issue resolved: Turned out to be the max_bonds bonding driver option.. The default is one.

max_bonds
    Specifies the number of bonding devices to create for this instance of the bonding driver. E.g., if max_bonds is 3, and the bonding driver is not already loaded, then bond0, bond1 and bond2 will be created. The default value is 1.

Added the above option to /etc/modprobe.conf options line.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just wiped my Ubuntu snort IDS. It was running with 6 nic's. Two sets of the nic's were teamed. Moving over to Arch and running into some configuration issues.

Trying to bond 2 sets of network cards.. I want them up but without an IP address.

/etc/conf.d/bonding

bond_bond0="eth1 eth2"
bond_bond1="eth3 eth4"
BOND_INTERFACES=(bond0 bond1)

/etc/modprobe.conf

options bonding miimon=100

/etc/rc.conf

eth0="eth0 up"
eth1="eth1 up"
eth2="eth2 up"
eth3="eth3 up"
eth4="eth4 up"
eth5="dhcp"

bond0="bond0 up"
bond1="bond1 up"

INTERFACES=(eth0 eth5 bond0 bond1)

on reboot, only eth0 and eth5 come up.
on /etc/rc.d/network restart

bond0: unknown interface: No such device
bond1: unknown interface: No such device
Master 'bond0': Error: handshake with driver failed. Aborting
Master 'bond1': Error: handshake with driver failed. Aborting
