similar to: OT: CentOS server with 2 GbE links to 2 GbE switches

Hi List, I'm trying to configure two switches to provide redundancy (i.e. in case one switch goes down), and am wondering if there is a standard way to configure a CentOS box to use different gateways in a bonded interface, depending upon which physical nic is being used? A bit more detail might help answer the "And why do you want to do that?" questions... - Switch 1,

Hi, I''m trying to increase the bandwidth between two hosts (backup). Both hosts are in the same /24 subnet and each of them is connected to a Cisco switch by 2 GbE interfaces (intel e1000). The switches/host are located in different building which are connected by 3 x GbE. building A | building B | --------

Hi, may be there are some best practice suggestions for the "best mode" for channel bonding interface? Or in other words, when should/would I use which mode? E.g. I do have some fileservers connected to the users lan and to some ISCSI Storages. Or some Webservers only connected to the LAN. The switches are all new cisco models. I've read sone docs (1), (2) and (3) so the theory

Dear all, we are trying to get our virtual machines to work performant with our 10 GbE cards (lspci says: NetXen Incorporated NX3031 Multifunction 1/10-Gigabit Server Adapter (rev 42)). When doing some benchmarks it was noticed that especially on the receiving side, the virtualization layer hits a significant performance impact and therefore we went for a PCI passthrough, so that the VMs can

Hi, We''re setting up fairly large Lustre 2.1.2 filesystems, each with 18 nodes and 159 resources all in one Corosync/Pacemaker cluster as suggested by our vendor. We''re getting mixed messages on how large of a Corosync/Pacemaker cluster will work well between our vendor an others. 1. Are there Lustre Corosync/Pacemaker clusters out there of this size or larger? 2.

I'm try to bond a few interfaces together with the hopes of getting increased throughput, and I'm using a cisco Catalyst 2900 as the switch. I've tried using mode 0, 5, and 6 with nothing special on the switch, and mode 4 with some ports "trunked" together (I have a feeling that the "trunking" that the 2900 does is not 802.3ad, as it disabled the ports it saw as

I've been reading that it's possible to set up a system with multiple NIC to provide redundant internet connectivity such that it will switch to a secondary connection if the primary ISP fails. Is it possible in a similar way to setup redundant LAN routing? I read that it is possible to aggregate/bond multiple NIC to stackable switches that support link aggregation and redundancy. But if

Subject: [Sharing] CentOS 8.2 (2004) Linux Server is Compatible with Dell PowerEdge R640 1U Server Good day from Singapore, I have just installed CentOS 8.2 (2004) Linux Server on Dell PowerEdge R640 1U Server for "Donald Trump and Xi Jinping Investment Company LLP" (fictitious/fictional company name used) in Singapore on 11 August 2020 Tuesday. I can confirm that CentOS 8.2

Hi There, We currently using iproute2 for load balancing. However we need more upload speed as we load balance over 3 dsl lines. I''ve been looking for a way to combine the upload speed to more faster. Found a site called www.upstreaminter.net where these guys bond the adsl channels to improve uploads, Since downloading is problem as its need to know the ip address of the downloader they

I am setting up 2 Vyatta routers that will serve as redundant failover core routers out to the backbone of our ISP. They will be serving for routing between other branches and the ISP and bandwidth management. I am trying to differentiate between the plethora of information about having redundant, automatic failover routers and pretty much decided on VRRP for the IP address failover mechanism. I

Hi all, Read many posts on the subject. Using 802.3ad. Few problems; Cannot ping some hosts on the network, they are all up. Cannot resolve via DNS which is one of the hosts that I cannot ping, internal nor external DNS hosts. Unplugging the NICS and plugging them back in will then not allow pining if the default d=gateway. When cold booting it somewhat works, some hosts are pingable while

Hi everyone, I'm trying to use samba in a small video post production house but we are not getting the performance we expected. Our setup: - CenOS 5.6 x86-64 - samba.x86_64 (3.0.33-3.29.el5_6.2 and 3.6.0rc1) - Intel based server (One 4 core Xeon E5620 @ 2.40GHz, 8 GB RAM) - 4 Intel Gigagit ethernet NIC ports with 802.3ad bonding connected to a switch configured tu use 802.3ad - 8 2TB 7.2

I want to bond together both interfaces on my dom0 using IPMP to provide a redundant path. Is this supported? - I''ve done a google and found no specific mention of doing exactly this so I''d like to know if it is possible before I attempt it. Many thanks, Matt. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, I want to configure CentOS on powerful server with gigabit adapters as transparent bridge and deploy it in front of server farm. Can you tell how to optimize the OS for hight packet processing? What configurations I need to do to achieve very hight speeds and thousands of packets? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I''m a little confused about the many ways I''ve read that can be used for traffic load balancing, that is, two or more interfaces to the outside world being used transparently and efficiently by the internal machines. I heard about: a) netfilter SNAT to more than one IP. If I''m correct, this is only a round robin, that is, one connection goes here, the other goes there,

Hi, Hopefully this won''t be too off-topic (I''ve seen both bonding & vlan mentioned on the list, but not really together). I''ve tried to get bonding (2 x 100Mb EEPro, but will want to try on 1000BaseT) and vlans to work together, but without luck. I can get them working fine (seemingly at least - I didn''t tried bursting on the bonded port) individually.

I went to the site to subscribe again and ended up watching some of Jeremy's Google interviews. I particularly enjoyed the interview with James and the bow tie lesson at the end. :) So anyway, I recently upgraded my home network to end-to-end GbE. My clients are Windows XP SP3 w/hot fixes, and my Samba server is 3.5.6 atop vanilla kernel.org Linux 3.2.6 and Debian 6.0.6. With FDX fast

Hello, Please tell me if it's possible to use tinc together with OSPF (instead of static routes in LAN). By OSPF I mean Quagga's GNU/Linux daemon. Namely, I have a group of LANs (private 192.168.x.0/24 each). Each LAN has a GNU/Linux default gateway, 192.168.x.1, that also connects to the Internet via a public IP address (does NAT and firewall for the LAN "behind" it). tinc

I am working on setting up an NFS server, which will mainly serve files to web servers, and I want to setup two bonds. I have a question regarding *which* bonding mode to use. None of the documentation I have read suggests any mode is "better" than other with the exception of specific use cases (e.g. switch does not support 802.3ad, active-backup). Since my switch *does* support

With the current talk on bonding, I have a few questions of my own. I'm setting up a KVM host with CentOS 6.3 x86_64 on which I'd like to attach the VMs to a bonded interface. My target setup is one where two GigE NICs are bonded and then the KVM bridge interface is attached to the bonded interface. Initially I tried to use the balance-alb mode (mode6), but had little luck (receiving
