Hi David, no the ifcfg- files do not have the HW address in them. The bond used eth2 and eth3 - # cat ifcfg-eth2 DEVICE=eth2 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond1 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none TYPE=Ethernet # cat ifcfg-eth3 DEVICE=eth3 USERCTL=no ONBOOT=yes MASTER=bond1 SLAVE=yes BOOTPROTO=none TYPE=Ethernet Now that the bond is up and running, ifconfig on each eth shows the MAC address to be the MAC address of the bond: # ifconfig eth2|grep HWaddr eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:C9:CD:D9:4C # ifconfig eth3|grep HWaddr eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:C9:CD:D9:4C # ifconfig bond1 | grep HWaddr bond1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:C9:CD:D9:4C So you suggest getting the real HWaddr for each device and put that in the relevant ifcfg- files ?
