Bonding driver RHEL 5 x86_64

[StarAdmin]

Hi,

Is there an HP bonding driver for RHEL 5?
I've set-up a bonded pair of NICs using the standard Linux driver but am not getting SNMP traps when one cable is pulled.
Is HP Bonding driver what is needed here?

Cheers,

Shalom,

You don't need a driver.

All you need to do is change modprobe.conf and the ifconfig configuration files.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Bonding works fine and setting it up is no issue.

What happens is that when the NICs are bonded I'm not getting an SNMP trap generated when one of the cables gets pulled.

This is a DL380G5. With NICs that aren't bonded pulling a cable causes the HP NIC agents to generate an SNMP trap.

I was wondering if the HP bonding driver was needed to generate trap for a bonded interface.

Cheers
