Network interfaces named ___tmpxxxx in redhat

Hi,

i have bond0 configured with eth0 and eth3 on a redhat enterprise linux 5.7.

when i reboot the system, sometimes interface shows as ___tmpxxxx in ifconfig -a.

Do i need to put HWADDR in the slave interface as well.

i have placed it. is it ok to put HWADDR= opton when interfaces are in bond.

also do i need to place TYPE=BOND in the bond0 configuration. or it is not required. since when i place TYPE=BOND, under tail -f /var/log/messages, it shows unknown or invalid option.

kindly suggest

Regards

Here's an (edited) example from a prod system

Code:

cat ifcfg-bond0



DEVICE=bond0

ONBOOT=yes

BOOTPROTO=none

IPADDR=1.2.3.4

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

GATEWAY=1.2.3.4

TYPE=Ethernet

USERCTL=no

IPV6INIT=no

PEERDNS=yes



cat ifcfg-eth0

# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5706 Gigabit Ethernet

DEVICE=eth0

ONBOOT=yes

BOOTPROTO=none

HWADDR=11:22::33:44:55:66

MASTER=bond0

SLAVE=yes

TYPE=Ethernet
