Result
Bond device operation successful. Please run ’network --restart’ for the
changes to take effect.
network --create_bond
Description
The command allows individual network interfaces to be selected to create a bond. Only non-bonded interfaces can be
used to create a bond. When a bond is created, all the individual interfaces chosen for the bond lose their existing
settings and their settings are managed by the bond. Interface bonding requires all the network devices in the bond to
support the same speed. Interfaces of different devices like twisted pair or fibre can be bonded as long as they support
the bonding speed. Currently, only devices which support the same speed can be bonded together. You can create
multiple bonds, but each bond must be created individually and the maximum number of bonds cannot exceed the
number of devices.
Syntax
--create_bond --bondif <bondN>
[--dhcp]
[--static]
--nwif <eth0,eth1,...,ethN>
[--mode < ALB | 802.3ad>]
[--name < DNS name >]
[--mtu <Supported MTU range 512 - 9000>]
[--ip <IPv4/IPv6 address not already in use>]
[--netmask <netmask>]
[--gateway <IPv4/IPv6 address>]
[--restart]
--bondif Bond interface to create.
--dhcp Create dhcp interface.
--static Create static interface.
--nwif Eth interfaces to bond.
--mode Bonding mode to use.
--name DNS name for the interface.
--mtu Ethernet MTU to use (valid range is 512 - 9000).
--ip Static IP address to use.
--netmask Netmask for the static IP address.
--gateway Gateway for routing.
--restart Restarts networking after creation.
For example, to create bond1 using eth3 and eth4, run the command: network --create_bond --bondif
bond1 --dhcp --nwif eth3,eth4 --mode ALB --restart
