Red Hat IP Multipathing

[MikeL_4]

I've just been given a server to install and after wards cannot get the IP to connect to the network...

When I asked the network group to check the IP setup on there end they said it was setup with IP Multipathing and I would have to setup the server the same...

Can anyone tell me what IP Multipathing is and how to configure it ?? first I've heard of this .....

IP Multipathing is a terminology used in SUN (IPMP) to describe a redundant "teaming" of network adapters.

In linux, this normally is known as "bonding".

Search in this forum for bonding and you will get a lot of results.

Cheers.
