  • Channel bonding configuration for slave interface

    Posted on

    Hello.

    I would like to ask question about the channel bonding configuration for slave interface.
    I was pointed out the MAC address for the slave interface needs to be written in each
    ifcfg-ethx files.

    However, according to RHEL document for RHEL 6 and 7 do not have MAC address in it's example.

    For RHEL 6
    Example 10.2. Example ifcfg-ethX bonded interface configuration file
    https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/s2-networkscripts-interfaces-chan.html

    For RHEL 7
    Example 4.2. Example Slave Interface Configuration File
    https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Networking_Guide/sec-Network_Bonding_Using_the_Command_Line_Interface.html

    Should I include the MAC address or is it just not necessary?

    Best Regards,
    Yu Watanabe
