Multiple bonding modes in a Linux operating system are given below:
- balance-alb (fault tolerance and load balancing)
- balance-tlb (fault tolerance and load balancing)
- active-backup (fault tolerance)
- broadcast (fault tolerance)
- balance-rr (fault tolerance and load balancing)
- 802.3ad (fault tolerance and load balancing)
- balance-xor (fault tolerance and load balancing)
We will use Network Manager CLI to add a bonding device to a Linux server.
- Run the nmcli command as root on SHELL
nmcli con add type bond ifname mode active-backup - Assign IP address with
nmcli connection modify ipv4.addresses - Make static IP address
nmcli connection modify ipv4.method manual - Add bond slave to bonding device with
nmcli con add type bond-slave ifname master - Add the second slave with
nmcli con add type bond-slave ifname master - check bonding configuration with
nmcli connection show - Restart server network with
systemctl restart network
