I semi-apologize for this question, but I don't have a suitably equipped machine-switch combination free for testing, so I can't do empirical testing. I don't see the layer2+3 option listed in the CentOS 5.5 bonding module: # modinfo bonding | egrep 'version|xmit' version: 3.4.0 srcversion: 0B48FBAC9285804638A6BE7 parm: xmit_hash_policy:XOR hashing method: 0 for layer 2 (default), 1 for layer 3+4 (charp) Is the layer2+3 option simply undocumented via modinfo or is it not present in the CentOS bonding module? -- Paul Heinlein <> heinl...@madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
