PE1850/1950/2950 + RHEL4/5 + Nic teaming ?

[Narendra_K at Dell.com]

Hello,

I suppose the link
"http://www.cyberciti.biz/howto/question/static/linux-ethernet-bonding-d
river-howto.php" will provide a sufficient details about channel bonding
in linux. Also the bonding.txt from the kernel.org
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git;a=b
lob;f=Documentation/networking/bonding.txt;h=a0cda062bc33b6e1de3dd2bb60d
5ff62bdf97cd4;hb=HEAD) gives a lot information about bonding.

With regards,
Narendra K

There is plenty of information on Ethernet bonding, which I believe is
what you are referring to.

In a nutshell, it does the same thing as windows does, the only real
difference as far as the system is concerned is that the interface is
named bond$FOO vs eth$FOO.

Search for 'linux ethernet teaming', there is a huge amount of
documentation out there on it.  We implemented it here on a 2950 III
running Debian stable and it's working a treat.

Hello all,

I'm looking for informations about nic teaming management on PE Servers
running RHEL4/5 and drivers updates.

Can someone explain me how it works under Linux ?

Thanks a lot

Nb : I usually use BACS (Broadcom nic) or intel pro set (Intel nic)
management software under windows...but never had to do it under linux,
so are there such softs for Linux too ? do PE servers come with
something special from DELL template ?

Florent
