Hi all, i recently found that some frontend servers (Centos6) show: kernel: bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth2. kernel: bonding: bond0: link status definitely down for interface eth2, disabling it kernel: bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth2. On some days frequently and on others none. But there is no hw failure or similar. $ cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/bond0/bonding/{mode,arp_validate} active-backup 1 active 1 $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=MYIP NETMASK=MYMASK NETWORK=MYNET BROADCAST=MYCAST ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet BONDING_OPTS="mode=1 arp_interval=500 arp_validate=1 arp_ip_target=GATEIP,GATE2IP primary=eth0" $ cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.6.0 (September 26, 2009) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: eth0 (primary_reselect always) Currently Active Slave: eth0 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 0 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 ARP Polling Interval (ms): 500 ARP IP target/s (n.n.n.n form): GATEIP, GATE2IP Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full Link Failure Count: 31 Permanent HW addr: MACADDR Slave queue ID: 0 Slave Interface: eth2 MII Status: up Speed: 1000 Mbps Duplex: full Link Failure Count: 1 Permanent HW addr: MACADDR Slave queue ID: 0 Device module tg3: $ cat /sys/module/tg3/version 3.124 Any ideas or same experiences out there?
