Has anyone successfully created a bonded interface (bond0) with say two nics AND also then aliased that interface to get bond0 and bond0:1 (for an alias ip)
I just want to know if it's possible and reliable
Thanks

Oh I forgot to mention I would be using link aggregation mode 4, 802.3ad bonding.

It works fine just create the ifcfg-bondX:X files for your aliases and they'll be added once the bond comes up.

Possible and very reliable, at least with Intel quad NICs (can't remember model) and Procurve 2900 switches in my last job.

This reminded me of a recent issue doing just what you are asking about. I had an issue with sending traffic out an aliased interface on a bonded interface a few weeks ago. I needed certain traffic to look like it was from the aliased interfaces IP so the ACL on the receiving side would allow posts. But ALL traffic was still looking like it came from the real interface's IP address. and this caused the ACL to deny it. I solved it using iptables.

Yes to both. I have been doing this for about four years now on various versions of CentOS. The one thing you need to watch out for is the same as when not using aliases - that eth0 (etc) always comes up as eth0, and doesn't get renumbered. Solve this with HWADDR lines in ifcfg-eth0 (etc). Otherwise it is solid.
