CentOS 7.x network bonding

It is possible to combine to NICs in a single bond interface for redundancy, performance, etc. reasons. To configure bond on top of two physical interfaces use following steps:

  1. Identify two identical interfaces for creating bond. These interfaces should have same speed and should be connected to same VLAN(s).
  2. Go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ folder
  3. Create 'ifcfg-bond0' with contents similar to:
    DEVICE=bond0
    NAME=bond0
    TYPE=Bond
    ONBOOT=yes
    BOOTPROTO=static
    IPADDR=192.168.122.150
    NETMASK=255.255.255.0
    GATEWAY=192.168.122.1
    BONDING_MASTER=yes
    BONDING_OPTS="miimon=0 updelay=0 downdelay=0 mode=4"
    where mode=4 refers to 802.3ad or LACP. For other types of mode such as balance-rr, active-backup, balance-xor, etc. refer to reference links at the end
    In case of less information on network switch end or while using unmanageable switches, use mode=5 as that seems to be able to detect interfaces going up or down properly.
  4. Update interface configuration files to depend on bond using:
    DEVICE=ens0
    ONBOOT=yes
    TYPE=Ethernet
    BOOTPROTO=none
    MASTER=bond0
    SLAVE=yes
    NM_CONTROLLED="no"
    where ens0 is the name of one of the two ethernet interfaces to be added to bond
  5. Do the same for second ethernet interface
  6. Restart network for settings to take effect:
    systemctl restart network
  7. Use following to make sure bond is formed properly:
    cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0


Refer:


Troubleshooting steps

  • If in cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 output only one interface is shown and other is not showing up then validate SLAVE=yes and MASTER=bond0 are present in the interface configuration file for the other interface.
  • If bond0 itself is not getting created make sure DEVICE=bond0, NAME=bond0 etc. is present in ifcfg-bond0 file
