.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a tool to attach and detach slave network devices to a bonding device.
|
|
A bonding device will act like a normal Ethernet network device to the kernel,
|
|
but will send out the packets via the slave devices using a simple round-robin scheduler.
|
|
This allows for simple load-balancing,
|
|
identical to "channel bonding" or "trunking" techniques used in switches.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel must have support for bonding devices for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to be useful.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a, -all-interfaces
|
|
Show information about all interfaces.
|
|
.It Fl c, -change-active
|
|
Change active slave.
|
|
.It Fl d, -detach
|
|
Removes slave interfaces from the bonding device.
|
|
.It Fl f, -force
|
|
Force actions to be taken if one of the specified interfaces appears not to belong to an Ethernet device.
|
|
.It Fl h, -help
|
|
Display a help message and exit.
|
|
.It Fl u, -usage
|
|
Show usage information and exit.
|
|
.It Fl v, -verbose

|
|
.El
|

If not options are given, the default action will be to enslave interfaces.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLE
|
|
The following example shows how to setup a bonding device and
|
|
enslave two real Ethernet devices to it:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
# modprobe bonding
|
|
# ifconfig bond0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0
|
|
# ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1
