Whether predictable EHA may be applicable to bonding also?
To remind myself without caffeine, heh. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt 15. Frequently Asked Questions 8. Where does a bonding device get its MAC address from? When using slave devices that have fixed MAC addresses, or when the fail_over_mac option is enabled, the bonding device's MAC address is the MAC address of the active slave. For other configurations, if not explicitly configured (with ifconfig or ip link), the MAC address of the bonding device is taken from its first slave device. This MAC address is then passed to all following slaves and remains persistent (even if the first slave is removed) until the bonding device is brought down or reconfigured. If you wish to change the MAC address, you can set it with ifconfig or ip link: # ifconfig bond0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 # ip link set bond0 address 66:77:88:99:aa:bb The MAC address can be also changed by bringing down/up the device and then changing its slaves (or their order): # ifconfig bond0 down ; modprobe -r bonding # ifconfig bond0 .... up # ifenslave bond0 eth... This method will automatically take the address from the next slave that is added. To restore your slaves' MAC addresses, you need to detach them from the bond (`ifenslave -d bond0 eth0'). The bonding driver will then restore the MAC addresses that the slaves had before they were enslaved. poma _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
