Hi List,
I am running a x86_64 Centos server, after a reboot the network has decided to not work.. this particular machine has 8 eth ports eth0-7. eth0 and eth3 were bonded (mode 1 ) after reboot the bond did not work. It came up OK but no data was passing through it. all other interfaces on the machine were working.
I decided to remove the bond, so after removing the bond i was left with eth0 using the same IP as the bond used. however it still does the same thing, it starts up with no errors but i cannot even ping the default gateway, tcpdump shows nothing on the interface.
I have made sure of the following
- no iptables installed
- kernel modules for the NIC are loaded with no errors
- the bond kernel module is not installed / all bond configs have been removed
Below is some info on the interface, it should be noted that all others are OK the only 2 that were having the issue are eth0 and eth3 (the ex-bonded ones)

If you look closely TX and RX are massively different, but I am not seeing anything on tcpdump even there is a large number of TX packets.
Just some more information on this issue.
I have tried different kernels and the same issue is still occurring.

I am still racking my brains on what is causing this
