I am running RHEL 5.3 on a blade server w/ 2 NICs that are bonded. I have 2 VLANs that I am trying to configure. I have created the network-scripts ifcfg-bond0.<vlan#>. I can ping the device but the gateway won't ping. I am in console mode so cutting and pasting output doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas or something to check?
thanks.

well you need to show us the ifconfig outputs for the bond, the eth's and the vlans. Check if the counters on the vlan interfaces are increasing (TX / RX) and check your arp tables for entries on your chosen vlans. Also you've not mentioned a single thing about your switch configs, which is the majority of the relevant tech in a vlan solution.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't know why both eth0 and eth1 have the same mac address. I tried hardcoding it in the network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX but it won't take.

Unfortunately I can't access any switch settings. Out network dept handles that and I was assured that they have it set up correctly.

Is there anything that stands out as being wrong? or does it look right and does in fact need to be checked on the switch side?

thanks.
