Bonding Eth

Hi

I'm trying to bond two eth (1 & 2) on Debian 2.6.9 with 2.6.
But if i unplug what appears to be the master-cable i get no connection. My Intel 510T switch has been setup to run mirror on the ports.

If i try changing in the setup, im told the eth1 isn't the master.

Code:

Illegal operation; the specified interface 'eth1' is not a master. Aborting

Code:

Interfaces
        auto bond0
        iface bond0 inet static
        address 192.168.10.3
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.10.0
        gateway 192.168.10.1
        up /usr/sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth1
        up /usr/sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth2

Code:

/etc/modprobe.d/arch/i386
         alias bond0 bonding
         options bonding mode=1 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200

Any ideas..?

Make sure you comment out your eth0,eth1 interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces
# Bonding for failover
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
networkxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth0
up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth1

#----Secondary
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet static
# address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# network xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

# The primary network interface
# Onboard Intel 100
#auto eth1
#iface eth1 inet static
# address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# network xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

and /etc/ifstate dosent refer to eth1 and eth0
