12.2 Requirements<br />

The most basic requirement for successful bonding is that both endpoints of the<br />

connection must support bonding. In a normal case, the non-server endpoint is a<br />

switch. (Two systems connected via crossover cables can also use bonding.) Any<br />

switch used must explicitly support 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation.<br />

The kernel must also support bonding. All supported <strong>Lustre</strong> kernels have bonding<br />

functionality. The network driver for the interfaces to be bonded must have the<br />

ethtool support. To determine slave speed and duplex settings, ethtool support is<br />

necessary. All recent network drivers implement it.<br />

To verify that your interface supports ethtool, run:<br />

# which ethtool<br />

/sbin/ethtool<br />

# ethtool eth0<br />

Settings for eth0:<br />
