Re: Bonded NIC to redundant switches

I am wondering if it is possible to bond 2 NIC's on a single RedHat

want to be able to use both NIC's as a one virtual connection to
effectively double my throughput; however, in the event that 1 of the
switches, or 1 of the NIC's in the group fails, traffic will slow
down, but not get cut off.

Is this even possible? Is it dependent on the type of switch (HP
Procurve, Cisco Catalyst)? Is it dependent on the version of RedHat?
Any guidance on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you,

Ed,


I think it is more a support issue then a technical issue.

We use nic bonding, but I do not know whether or not the switches are redundant.

The service guard config doc does not accept your configuration.
