How can you make the active port deterministic upon bootup?
But I do no want to use the ‘primary’ parameter because once a port fails over I want it to remain the active port until it fails.
I need to have eth0 always be the active port upon bootup because it is connected to the primary VRRP switch.

I’ve not used it on a environment with a Hub, but I’d say its normal for all interfaces to get the packets there since hubs dont isolate traffic, this might very well confuse how things works

When I try this using a hub, I get duplicate packets on transmission and receving. Using a switch, the swich takes care of this, passing packets to only 1 interface and accepting packets from only 1 interface. Is this how it’s meant to work??

Hi was wondering if anyone could help me with bonding 2 or more adsl lines connected to cisco adsl routers then going into a debian box and from the debian box to my network. The idea is to bond the 2 ethernet cards that are connected to the 2 adsl cisco routers together and to create one fatpipe of bandwidth going out to my network. At the same time giving me load balancing and failover?

I have a little trouble with starting the link. There is a solution:
ifconfig bond0 192.168.70.101 netmask 255.255.255.0\
broadcast 192.168.70.255 up
ifenslave bond0 eth0
ifenslave bond0 eth1
without the ifenslave command, the routing is incomplete

Have you ever tried multi-path routing. It sounds like it has the same result that bonding does (in a nutshell). I have used bonding and multi-path routing but, the thing that prevents me from continuing to use it is “round robin”. We are online with some apps that require consistent ip addresses. Do you know of a bonding or multi-path routing configuration that does not use a “round-robin” approach. Thanks jeff.

hey,
if you create a VLAN across the two cisco’s – by plugging them into each other, setting up a trunk connection (or two) and creating a VLAN that spans the two switches – you can plug 1 eth cable into each of the switches and it would work fine.
