Still working on a solution. Apparently the bond<n> files demand an ipaddress, thus there might have to be one for each and every single ip coming into the computer...I guess you would have to do that anyway just like eth0, eth0:0, eth0:1, etc. I think I am going to try to just make a separate eth<n> for each ip, going to their respective bond<n> with the proper ipaddress in them. Then use the bridge as normal, with each bond<n> calling a respective bridge Not sure how that works with multiple ips going to same machine (as in, can the bridge handle more than one ip, or can the machine look for more than one bridge...?)
For various reasons I base my host machines on Ubuntu 10.04-LTS and run CentOS under KVM. My bonded/bridged host configuration looks like this. You will have to figure out the CentOS equivalents.
# The primary network interface iface eth0 inet manual iface eth1 inet manual
# eth0 & eth1 form bond0 for x.x.x.0/25 subnet auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static bond_miimon 100 bond_mode active-backup bond_downdelay 200 bond_updelay 200 address x.x.x.35 netmask 255.255.255.128 network x.x.x.0 post-up ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1 pre-down ifenslave -d bond0 eth0 eth1
auto br0 iface br0 inet static bridge_ports bond0 address x.x.x.35 netmask 255.255.255.128 network x.x.x.0 gateway x.x.x.126
I then configured the virtual interface for each virtual machine like this:
<interface type='bridge'> <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <model type='virtio'/> </interface>
and configured each machine using regular 'eth0'.
Don't forget to make sure forwarding is turned on and that your firewall on the host machine allows FORWARD chain packets to the bridged interface.
