I have got a similar problem, this is my old setup: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet manual auto eth1 iface eth1 inet manual auto bond0 iface bond0 inet manual bond-mode 4 bond-miimon 100 xmit_hash_policy layer2+3 lacp_rate slow slaves eth0 eth1
related to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1876061 and to: /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian.gz I changed my network/interfaces file to auto bond0 iface bond0 inet manual bond-slaves none bond-mode 802.3ad bond-ad_select bandwidth bond-lacp_rate slow bond-miimon 100 bond-use_carrier 1 bond-downdelay 200 bond-updelay 200 bond-primary eth0 eth1 auto eth0 allow-bond0 eth0 iface eth0 inet manual bond-master bond0 bond-primary eth0 eth1 auto eth1 allow-bond0 eth1 iface eth1 inet manual bond-master bond0 bond-primary eth0 eth1 and now it works. It would be nice to have got a bonding example in the ubuntu free documentation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/920217 Title: network with bonding does not start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave-2.6/+bug/920217/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
