Greetings all,
We are using bonding interfaces in active-backup (1) mode, with
"fail_over_mac" set to "active" (1), with miimon=100 and two slaves. The
slaves are "either regular" network interfaces, or vlan interfaces created
with "vconfig" over "regular" interfaces. One of the slaves is defined as
primary. The purpose of this config is to ensure failover in case one of the
interfaces dies. This config usually works as expected.
One scenario that doesn't work for us, is when link status of the active
slave is up, but all the packets sent to it are dropped, e.g., because of
incorrect switch configuration. In that case bond failover doesn't happen.
Can this scenario be addressed with bonding?
Thanks,
Alex.
I found a discussion, which looks relevant, labeled "How to check an
inactive slave in a bond?" in
/lists/lartc/msg21434.html". But this discussion
considers the inactive slave, while in my case, I would like to better
handle problems with the active slave.
