With SLES9, you can do everything with a standard ifcfg file, but only manually (i.e., no YaST support). I got this method by hacking into the /sbin/ifup script :-) For example, to create the bond interface "bond0" using the interfaces eth0 and eth1, create the file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bond0 and add the values: BOOTPROTO='none' BROADCAST='192.168.1.255' IPADDR='192.168.1.100' MTU='' NETMASK='255.255.255.0' NETWORK='192.168.1.0' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='onboot' UNIQUE='AjsU.OS1jsd8l+4p' BONDING_MASTER='yes' BONDING_MODULE_OPTS='mode=6 miimon=100 updelay=200 downdelay=500 use_carrier=1' BONDING_SLAVE_1='eth0' BONDING_SLAVE_2='eth1' Of course, use your own network information and bonding driver options. Also, I'm not sure if it matters, but I manually set the UNIQUE variable for each bond interface on a server. You will need to remove any ifcfg files form /etc/sysconfig/network that correspond to an interface used by a bond (eth0 and eth1 in this example). Do not put any "alias" or "options" entries in /etc/modprobe.conf.local for the bonding driver. On Sun, 16 Jan 2005 21:17:19 +0100, Hans Kamm <hans753@hotmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I think there exists no option in autoyast, but it should work with a post-script. Probably you can also modify some settings in the /etc/sysconfig/.

I would be interested in a soloution.

I have two bcm5700 networkcards in my server and I want to bond them but I have no idea how I can do this with autoyast. Is it possible?
