Sometime we got more than one network interface..
let say one Ethernet Card and one wifi cards..
this will show you how to combine this into one.. and
get better throughout speed.
1. edit /etc/modprobe.conf to add bonding interface.
alias bond0 bondingoptions bond1 mode=1 miimon=100
2. edit some of the networking scripts with these :
cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts touch ifcfg-bond0 vi ifcfg-bond0 |
add these lines.
DEVICE=bond0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
BROADCAST=192.168.100.255
NETWORK=192.168.100.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.100.1
IPADDR=192.168.100.21
and..
vi ifcfg-eth0 |
add..
DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:0c:29:30:41:de
ONBOOT=yes
and
vi ifcfg-wlan0 |
DEVICE=wlan0
USERCTL=no
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=0c:0c:29:30:41:de
ONBOOT=yes
to start using it..
ifup bond0
.. it should enslave both network cards..
and determine the ip address..
