Hello,

I set up channel bonding on one of my fedora core 5 systems. I have noticed that response from that system has been intermitent. Upon further investigation I discovered the the active interface keeps flip flopping. I was wondering if anyone else has come across a similar issue and what they did to correct it?

The system is a Del blade server with one NIC attacted to each internal Del switch.

My interfaces are set up as follows

[root@jose network-scripts]# more ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
IPADDR=192.168.2.132
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
USERCTL=no
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes

[root@jose network-scripts]# more ifcfg-eth0
# Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:14:22:FE:xx:x0

[root@jose network-scripts]# more ifcfg-eth1
# Intel Corporation 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
DEVICE=eth1
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:14:22:FE:xx:x1


Thank you in advance,
Bob
