Basp on Broadcom 5704

Hi to all.
I've a a Fujitsu primergy rx-600-s2 with 2 Nic adapter Broadcom 5704.

Now only one nic are up, the other is disabled.

I need to configure Loadbalancing / Failover.
I've found an article posted on 2005., unfortunately on broadcom site
(that i've yet contacted) i cannot find any basp driver for linux.

How can do that ? i need a basp driver or i configure balancing /
failover in another way ?

Thanks for your support and reply and Merry xmas to all.

Hi Kris, thx for your reply.
I've read your suggested file but i suppose that i make some mistakes

In effect i can successfully startup bond0 but i can connect to my
server only from the others serves that are on the same network.

my bond device is 10.1.31.41 from my laptop i cannot login but from
another server (10.1.31.3) i can successfully login.

this is my config file:
================================================== =======

These files are ok and i can login from all.

Was the problem the routes on ethX (slaves) which where before the route on
bondX ?

Kris was not a route problem.
Was my problem, i tried with a wrong address

Mike

Kris, please give another hints.

I've configured bond as you suggested me.
This is my conf file.

eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:0E:0C:42:A8:EC
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
DHCP_HOSTNAME=webdru2ux.sede.corp.sanpaoloimi.com
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
IPADDR=10.1.31.36
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=10.1.31.253

eth1:
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:0E:0C:42:A8:ED
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
DHCP_HOSTNAME=webdru2ux.sede.corp.sanpaoloimi.com
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
IPADDR=10.1.31.37
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=10.1.31.253


bond0:
DEVICE=bond0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
USERCTL=no
TYPE=Ethernet
IPADDR=10.1.31.41
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=10.1.31.253
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no



this is my route:

[root@webdru2ux network-scripts]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
10.1.31.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
bond0
10.1.31.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0
10.1.31.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth1
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0
bond0
default 10.1.31.253 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0
bond0


i've tried to manually remove eth0/eth1 link.

When i remove 1 link (for example eth1) my connection is still up and
another ssh is very fast, but when i remove the other link (eth0) my
connection is alreadt up but another ssh is very slow.
Seems that is routing problem.

this my is modprobe.conf

alias eth0 tg3
alias eth1 tg3
alias eth2 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter megaraid_mbox
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ata_piix
alias scsi_hostadapter2 lpfc
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 mode=0
options bond0 miimon=100


is there another setup to check ?
thanks

What's the equipment in front of eth0 and eth1 ?
May be there is something to configure so that the kernel module bonding and
this equipment be in sync.

A switch, a router ?
Which model ?
