Thread-topic: NIC bonding - missing eth0?

I have nic bonding (mode=802.3ad) setup on 2 servers, both running Centos 5.5

In the “Active Aggregator Info”, on one reports 4 ports – which is correct - but the other only reports 3 ports.

It’s always eth0 that shows a different aggregator ID. Changing the cables around so it hits a different port on the switch makes no difference. The switch is correctly configured for the port channel.

The only difference between the 2 servers is one is running Xen (kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plus) so I have the usual virtual interfaces and bridges.

 

Any ideas what might be happening?

Is something that needs to be “fixed” or is it not really a problem?

 

Thanx,

 

Russell Smithies
