Most Cisco, or SMC Its not trunking support that you need. Trunking is used for the spanning of VLAN information. Natively cisco switches will support the setup as described below. I have various setups using the bonding module, albeit that most of them are setup with mode=1 in modprobe.conf, which is the configuration for fail over rather than increased bandwidth. I also use the 8021q module with bonding to join multiple vlans With the cisco switches (IOS and CATOS) it works whether the switchports are in access or trunk mode > > you want to bond the interfaces. > The files you need to edit are > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 > /etc/modprobe.conf > > [root@smtcorav02 ~ ]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 > DEVICE=bond0 > ONBOOT=yes > IPADDR=10.10.4.247 > BROADCAST=10.10.4.255 > NETMASK=255.255.255.0 > NETWORK=10.10.4.0 > GATEWAY=10.10.4.254 > BOOTPROTO=none > USERCTL=no > BONDING_SLAVE0="eth0" > BONDING_SLAVE1="eth1" > [root@smtcorav02 ~ ]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 > DEVICE=eth0 > BOOTPROTO=none > ONBOOT=no > TYPE=Ethernet > MASTER=bond0 > SLAVE=yes > USERCTL=no > [root@smtcorav02 ~ ]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 > DEVICE=eth1 > BOOTPROTO=none > ONBOOT=no > TYPE=Ethernet > MASTER=bond0 > SLAVE=yes > USERCTL=no > [root@smtcorav02 ~ ]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf > alias bond0 bonding > options bonding miimon=100 mode=balance-xor > alias net-pf-10 off > alias eth0 e1000 > alias eth1 e1000 > alias scsi_hostadapter megaraid_mbox > alias usb-controller ehci-hcd > alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd > > -- slr, ISP Systems Specialist Telkom Internet #qmail-ldap @ irc.freenode.net This message has been made from 100% recycled bits. ----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GIT/MU/E d? s+:+ a- C++++>+++++ USL++++$ P++++ !E(---)W+@ !N o?(--) K? !w(---) O- M+ V PS+@ PE Y-- PGP++>+++ !t(---) !5 !X R-- !tv b(++) DI++ !D(----) G+++>++++ e++>* h----(*) r+++ y++++ -----END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
