6–Configuring NIC Functionality in the Converged Network AdapterConfiguring the NIC in a Linux Environment6-48 FE0254601-00 Ad. Reboot the server for the new RAMDISK image to take affect byissuing the following command:# shutdown -r now4. After a successful reboot, verify that the parameter values parameters havechanged by issuing the following commands:# lsmod | grep bonding# cat /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon# cat /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/modeBonding ConfigurationThe following nonpersistent and persistent configuration procedures assume thatthe Linux bonding driver has been loaded and that the parameters have beenspecified that define the type of bond to be created. For information about loadingthe bonding driver, refer to “Loading the Bonding Driver” on page 6-45.Nonpersistent Bonding Configuration1. Create a bondX network interface. For example, issue the followingcommand:# ifconfig bond0 192.168.10.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast192.168.10.255 up2. Add slave interfaces to the bonding interfaces by issuing the followingcommand:# ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1NOTE:Depending on the server hardware, the RAMDISK file name maybe different. The command is successful if there is no output.NOTE:Creating, modifying, or dissolving bonding interfaces may cause the networkconnection to be reset. Do not configure bonding on a production system.NOTE:Nonpersistent configuration changes (ifconfig and ifenslavecommands) are lost if the server is rebooted.
