Bonding / Active-Backup on PE2850

[Brian O'Mahony]

Normally when I set up machines, I set up bonding as its default (round robin). However I now need to set some 2850s running rhel4u6 to use active-backup.

If I ifup/ifdown the NICs, it works fine and dandy, and fails over, as seen in /proc/net/bonding/bond0

However if I disconnect the NIC at the switch/server, it doesn't fail over. Doesn't even show that the link has failed.

Any ideas?
