Hello all,
I'm wondering if there's any interest in trying to bond em1 and eth0 (respectively wired and wireless interfaces here), and if any, how to do it in CentOS6.
I've found this, which could possibly help (but I'm failing yet): http://r.outlyer.net/linux:bonding https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding Both are dealing w/ ifenslave.
Any experience or point of view on this topic?
For now, and without any change to the CentOS network config, I have my wired and wireless ifaces up at the same time, same IP (thanks for the DHCP config running on my router), but apparently only the wired one is taking into account in the routing table (if I understand), until I undock the laptop and run on the wireless one):
route -n
Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 em1 <- wired 10.0.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 eth0 <- wireless 0.0.0.0 10.0.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 em1 <- 10.0.2.1 is my router
I'm a complete newbie to bonding, so please forgive any non-sense I could have written here!
Regards,
