[BlueOnyx:16113] Re: Redundancy and using two network cards

[Tobias Gablunsky]

Hi Richard,

 
what you are looking for is bonding your interfaces. There is a mode called active-passive that would do what you want.

 
While it is not very complicated it is not very easy to do if doing it the first time. Here you can find more information: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s2-networkscripts-interfaces-chan.html

 
And I don't know how to tell BO to use the new interface that you will be creating, maybe somebody else can help.

 
 
Tobias

Subject: [BlueOnyx:16111] Redundancy and using two network cards

 
Hi, hope this is simple.

 
In the data centre we use, we’ve been provided two network cables to connect to the server which come from separate switches/routers to provide redundancy.  At the moment we’re only using one of these cables, but we’d like to be able to use both.

 
How do I configure the network settings to allow both network ports to be used with the same IP address?  I’m not interested in teaming for speed, just the redundancy in case one of the data centre’s switches fails.

 
Thanks

 
Richard
