That depends on the distribution that you are running.

For Debian or Ubuntu, put it in your /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp

For Redhat/Fedora or any other distribution that uses /etc/sysconfig/, put
it in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0:

DEVICE=bond0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes

Cheers,

Paul

hi paul,

thanks for your reply.
But still am facing some problems..
I have configured dhcp for the bonded interface..But when i restart the
network service,
it is telling that
for bond0 "no link present. Check cable?"
for eth0 & eth1,the link becomes down

can u tell what will be the problem?
