Cara Set up Network Bonding in Ubuntu 6.10

Bonding jaringan, juga dikenal sebagai port trunking memungkinkan Anda untuk menggabungkan beberapa port jaringan ke dalam satu kelompok, secara efektif menggabungkan bandwidth dari beberapa interface ke dalam satu koneksi. Sebagai contoh, Anda dapat menggabungkan dua gigabyte port menjadi dua gigabyte trunk port. Bonding digunakan terutama untuk jaringan menyediakan load balancing dan toleransi kesalahan. Pertama, kami akan menjalankan dua alat jaringan yang berbeda untuk memeriksa konektivitas jaringan dan kemampuan. Jalankan mii-tool untuk memeriksa konektivitas antarmuka untuk Anda:

Untuk tujuan kami, kami akan menganggap Anda memiliki tiga antarmuka. Hasil dari perintah mii-tool tercantum di bawah ini:
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-HD, link ok
eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-HD, link ok
eth2: negotiated 100baseTx-HD, link ok

Next run ethtool for each interface to check to see what capabilities:

ethtool eth0 && ethtool eth1 && ethtool eth3

The result of the ethtool command is listed below:
