Description of problem: After update of iputils bonding interface can't enslave ethernet interfaces. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel - 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL Platform - Dell PowerEdge 2850 ethernet driver - e1000 regarding to ERRATA RHBA-2005:624 update from iputils-20020927-11.30.1 to iputils-20020927-11.30.2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install clean RHEL3-U5 2.Prepare eth0 and eth1 as SLAVE devices for bond0 3.Try new configuration 4.Update to iputils-20020927-11.30.2 5.service network stop 6.modprobe -r e1000;modprobe -r bonding 7.service network start 8.( 5-7 can be replaced with simple reboot :) Actual results: bond0 doesn't enslave eth0 and eth1. ifconfig shows HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 for bond0. Expected results: Interface bond0 to be up and its HWaddr to be the MAC address of 1st enslaved device. Additional info: Problem stops with rollback to iputils-20020927-11.30.1. Interfcae bond0 is used as "master" interface for 2 VLANs Because of production state of server and short time for resolving of problem I can't reproduce situation now and send kernel and userspace error messages, sorry!
A testing package which fixies this issue is avaliable here http://people.redhat.com/rvokal/iputils/20020927-11.30.3/ This bug fix is considered for next update
Hello, I can confirm this version of iputils fixes the bonding/vlan issue. My setup: 2 x intel e1000 1 x bonding bond0 2 x vlan interfaces bond0.175/bond0.250 Both iputils-20020927-11.30.1 & iputils-20020927-11.30.3 work, iputils-20020927-11.30.2.i386.rpm doesn't. You mention next update, is that the periodic update or is it expected as errate in between? Thanks, Stijn
It seams it is resolved already , at least - after RHBA-2006:0029
