I am facing almost identical problem as the OP is. All my searches points to several How-Tos that are too specific to distros for me to translate to Slackware 12.
I could not verify whether ifenslave would be able to work as it seems to assume a different configuration files than what Slackware uses. Furthermore, I could not be sure whether I can copy the info for the configuration files to the Slackware and expect it to work because the info listed in the sample configuration files didn't seem to be consistent with what I see in /etc/rc.d/inetd.conf
The closest thing I got was this
article, which a brief testing seems to indicate that Slackware has all the commands necessary to execute the action. This seems to be a three-line affair:
Code:
# tc qdisc add dev eth1 root teql0
# tc qdisc add dev eth2 root teql0
# ip link set dev teql0 up
However, the diagram does not match what I am trying to do- it seems to be for connecting two networks together between two routers, which is not the case for me here. I want to use both ethernet ports on the server to connect to the T1 line, so the diagram would be more like:
Code:
| ----- eth0 ----|
T1 ---> Router server
| ----- eth1 ----|
The article then implies that I need multiple IP address, but I understand that my goal is only to present one interface to the router, and therefore need only one IP address. I am not sure if that means I should disregard the rest of instructions and just stop with those three lines I just referenced above.
Any confirmation or a pointer to a good source would be very helpful.
Thanks.
PS: Maybe a rephrase of the question: Is it safe to assume that following the instructions from the documentation in Linux's kernel tree will work just fine on Slackware? I'm not sure if I can assume that the differences in how Slackware configures things (e.g. /etc/rc.d/) will be important or trivial here... Also, does the fact that ifenslave isn't included in slackware package imply that it may not work for Slackware?
