	Subject: Bonding / Active-Backup on PE2850
	
	

	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?
