4. Software/Driver Configuration and Fine-tuning
4.1. Creating a Bond Interface
The Chelsio Offload Bonding driver supports active-backup (mode=1), 802.3ad (mode=4) and
balance-xor (mode=2) modes. To create a bond, use the following command:
[root@host]# modprobe bonding mode=1 miimon=100
This would create a bond interface (bondX) in active-backup mode. The interfaces can be
added to bond using:
[root@host]# ifconfig bond0 up
[root@host]# ifenslave bond0 ethX ethY
Load the t4_tom driver to offload the traffic over the bond interface.
[root@host]# modprobe t4_tom
For more information on the parameters supported by the bonding driver,
[root@host]# modinfo bonding
4.2. Network Device Configuration
Please refer to the operating system documentation for administration and configuration of
network devices.
Some operating systems may attempt to auto-configure the detected hardware
and some may not detect all ports on a multi-port adapter. If this happens,
please refer to the operating system documentation for manually configuring the
network device.
