I have the following Ethernet bonding configuration:
old configuration:
bond0 eth0 eth1 bond1 eth2 eth3 new configuration :
bond0 eth0 eth2 bond1 eth1 eth3 I have made the change and restart service network restart but cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 and cat /proc/net/bonding/bond1 still shows the old configuration. I had to reboot the system to be able to see the new configuration. Is there a way to do this without reboot?
I am using RHEL6.5
Don't make any changes to the config files which do not reflect the current state of the system, otherwise the network scripts get confused when they read the config to stop networking, but the config files don't match what's actually configured.
The correct way to change network config files is first stop networking (service network stop), then make your config file changes, then start networking again (service network start).
Stopping the network service will remove network access, so make sure you're using out-of-band access (ILO, DRAC, etc) and not SSH or other network-based access.
network there and it uses Netplan. I tried netplan apply and restarting systemd-networkd but those are not enough to change parameters like mii-monitor-interval or mode. Make sure your all eth configurationg files are correct. Post that if you want to change the slave use "ifenslave" command
Syntax
ifenslave -d bood0
to Attach a device
ifenslave bond0
