I was unable to understand the real nature of this message. Instead of putting arbitrary and possibly problematic MAC addresses, I suggest to ignore this warning, bonding works perfectly. I have these conf files: -> ifcfg-eth0 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none HWADDR=00:1C:C4:E2:44:32 NOZEROCONF=1 ONBOOT=yes IPV6INIT=no MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes USERCTL=no -> ifcfg-eth1 # Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR=00:1C:C4:E2:44:30 ONBOOT=no BOOTPROTO=none NOZEROCONF=yes IPV6INIT=no MASTER=bond0 SLAVE=yes USERCTL=no -> ifcfg-bond0 DEVICE=bond0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=10.61.1.200 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=10.61.1.254 NOZEROCONF=1 USERCTL=no -- DV _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
